Tag: M32 roundabout J2

As regular readers will know, Logoe is an artist who visits Bristol several times a year, and one who makes the most of each trip, typically painting about six pieces over a couple of days. On his last visit, Logoe favoured the area around the Junction 2 roundabout on the M32.

These two pieces were painted opposite each other in a foot tunnel under the roundabout. Painted in his customary script writing, both pieces incorporated a fair amount of gold and orange tones and a liberal smattering of accompanying spots and dots.

I can only guess that Logoe pretty much sprays these pieces in quick-time. I wonder if the phrase ‘always a little further’ relates in any way to his heroic efforts. In this second piece, the white border is a nice touch which lifts the piece a little. I guess we need to brace ourselves for another visit sometime, although I understand that his work is a little more busy in the warmer months.

It would be fair to say that I am struggling to keep up with Logoe’s activity. He may only be a weekend visitor to Bristol, but he certainly crams in the pieces when he comes. I ventured up to the Junction 2 roundabout of the M32 recently, and found several recent pieces by Logoe, a couple of which are featured in this post.

I rather like the colours of this compressed green piece, written in a slightly fatter script than his usual scratchy letters. It would appear that Logoe can slap up his graffiti pieces in no time at all without compromising the quality of design or finishing.

The second piece is rather wider than the first, but picks up on the slightly fatter letters.  I am guessing that this was the last of a series painted during the day, because it has the message ‘bed time…’. I am guessing he was tired, because there is a distinct lack of horizontal oval spots – perhaps he had run out of paint. I think that Logoe represents the almost obsessive side of graffiti writing married up with the pure joy he would seem to get out of it. Lots more to come from this session.
