Landscape – Natural adventures

7338. Brunel Way (343)

Creamylines, Brunel Way, Bristol, November 2025

Productivity underneath Brunel Way, a flyover which offers several concrete walls and pillars, has dipped in recent months, due to the ‘occupation’ of the main walls by high-end productions or tributes, both of which tend to have longevity. The knock-on effect is that people don’t go down there to paint much, and nothing will change for a while, until those walls get tagged or re-painted.

Fortunately, the odd piece is still being painted, mainly on the pillars and smaller flat surfaces and this is yet another beauty from Creamylines who, it has to be said, has had a purple patch this year. The landscape in this one is mountainous, and reminds me of the film title ‘The Hills Have Eyes’… I wonder why. All the ingredients are there for a classic Creamylines piece, and I like the addition of his text ‘Drawing Everythings’.

7295. M32 Spot (209)

Creamylines, M32 Spot, Bristol, October 2025

By now, regular readers will know that I am very fond of the work of Creamylines and will note that I am thrilled by the uptick in his activity this year. This particular piece, underneath the busy M32 motorway, is a little larger than most of his work to date.

Unusually, this piece is dominated by reds and purples, where many of his other pieces tend to be yellows, greens and blues. The piece is crammed full of people, eyes and mountains, all set below a glorious red rising sun, with his customary silhouetted birds. A piece full of connection with nature and our surroundings.

On a column a few meters away, I found this small piece by Creamylines, which although dogged with graffiti that reads “Do you remember who you are?” “Everything and nothing”, gives us a sense of a slightly more refined work from the artist, which might have been painted with a brush rather than spray paints. All good work from the busy artist.

7230. River Avon (97)

Creamylines, River Avon, Bristol, September 2025

I don’t think I’ll ever get tired of Creamylines’ bright and optimistic pieces, and I am forever grateful that he seems to be upping the frequency with which he is painting. These things add up to an overwhelming sense of wellbeing and a distraction from the rather depressing world around us.

This is another column piece from Creamylines albeit in a part of town that I haven’t seen him venture to before. This one is a little tidier than some of his pieces, and incorporates a myriad of colours. Eyes, faces, hills, birds, mountains and a gorgeous sun are all incorporated in this landscape as I have come to expect. Fabulous fun, and more to come from Creamylines.

7210. Brunel Way (336)

Creamylines, Brunel Way, Bristol, September 2025

I like artists whose style is so unique, and their theme unwavering, that I derive a warm, comforting feeling when I see their work. Creamylines is the epitome of this. You know that you are going to get a landscape or scene with a rising or setting sun in the style of a stained-glass window, scattered with little treats and surprises along the way.

Creamylines has presented this landscape in a portrait format to fit onto the concrete column. The colour palette has stuck to blues, yellows, greens and purples and has quite a different appearance to some of his other pieces that include reds and oranges… more sombre, perhaps. Lots of hidden faces in this one and plenty of birds. There is a little clue to his approach to his art is at the bottom: ‘drawing everythings’.

7189. Dean Lane skate park (868)

Creamylines, Dean Lane, Bristol, September 2025

It seems as though Creamylines has found a new lease of life, and although the last piece I posted by him was actually a repeat (thank you, Paul H for pointing this out), this is a spanking new piece in Dean Lane (one of several scattered around the city). This slab of concrete in the skate park lends itself really well to Creamylines’ bounded work (which makes me wonder whether he has ever painted up Purdown, it might suit him).

Instead of the more familiar portrait orientation, this is a landscape piece, that gives Creamylines more scope to broaden out his scene. Everything you’d want to see from this uplifting view is there. Water in the foreground, passing through to woodlands and fields and houses, all bathed in the light of a golden sun, with a couple of clouds and some birds. Calmness and joy.

7105. Brunel Way (330)

Creamylines, Brunel Way, Bristol, July 2025

I was very happy to see that Creamylines dropped two pieces under Brunel Way recently, probably in the same session, one of which I posted a week or so ago, and this is the other, which was painted low to the ground on the end of a wooden skate ramp.

Once again, Creamylines has presented a colourful landscape view, with fields and hills leading up to a sky dotted with clouds and a large yellow sun. There are plenty of figures or sentinels throughout the piece, which is given a serene and natural look, courtesy of the birds in flight. A calming piece in a crazy world.

7036. Stapleton Road

Conrico, Stapleton Road, Bristol, June 2025

There is so much more to this piece than first meets the eye. For a start, Conrico could have simply written his name on the wall, but no, he has treated us to an entire landscape into which his name fits.

The landscape looks like something out of The Lord of the Rings, Mount Doomesque. The meeting of the water and the sky in a dramatic fiery battle provides the perfect setting for the lime green 3D letters. The whole composition is balanced and exciting, and the whole is greater than the sum of the parts. Great work from Conrico.

6970. Greenbank (161)

Conrico and Werm, Greenbank, Bristol, May 2025

This is a fine collaboration from two artists who never seem to stop, both totally dedicated to their art and sharing it with us. This is the kind of collaboration which is more about artists painting together rather than any kind of fusion between their styles, colours or design.

On the left, Conrico presents a portrait of a woman in the foreground, who looks like she is taking a selfie in front of an island paradise – probably a Japanese island in the East China Sea. Conrico’s portraits are improving all the time and becoming more of a feature of his work. Of course, he has enough paint to add in his letters, with a feint reflection in the inviting sea.

To the right, Werm’s letters are beautifully presented, with the middle two letters a little smaller and ‘sitting on top’ of the rest of the piece. Lots of depth and intricate design work in this graffiti writing. Both artists have very different technical styles, but this collaboration works incredibly well.
