Sometimes I am slow to find a piece, coming a across it accidentally and rather late to the party, and sometimes I am slow to post a piece for whatever reason, and dig it out of my archive. In the case of this stunning mural from Hazard I was slow on both counts.

Hazard leaving Bristol is a big loss, and although she returns from time to time to paint a large wall for a commission or a Festival, it isn’t quite the same as her being here to drop a street piece from time to time. I guess people move around the country all the time for all sorts of different reasons, but they are missed by those they leave behind. This magnificent mural is painted on the side of the Julian Trust night shelter for homeless people and features a rough sleeper painted in the blues, reds greens and purples that are very much part of Hazard’s favoured palette. This is a great example of how to uplift an ordinary building, and add relevance to its function. Fabulous.
