719. Magdalene Place (4)

This was a piece I photographed back in December, and most unlike me I let it slip away…unusual because I am a big fan of Sled One. This is a nice wildstyle piece tucked away in the St Pauls/St Werburghs border, close to the M32.

With a bit of getting your eye in, you should be able to read the word SLED, as well as a small crew tag ‘ASK’. Sled One’s work seems to have such confidence in technique, often combining several different spray effects in one piece. In this example we have strong, hard, angular lines combining with curvy softer lines and misting around the edges together with some black and yellow decoration which one would think would ruin the piece, but in fact complements it perfectly. It is always a pleasure to post his work.

663. Magdalene Place (3)

This is another small piece by Shab that I photographed before I knew who it was by. Fortunately I keep a good archive of pictures that I regularly revisit, which is why some of my posts are a little out of date.

In this piece we see Shab’s trademark triangular patterns and a rather fetching brown eye. I think the top half of the hoarding is by another artist, but I can’t recognise who. The adjacent piece is by Mr Klue, featured in a post from some while back. Magdalene Place is a little back lane in St Pauls which often has some rather good street art, even if it is a bit out of the way.

When I saw this I thought of Klue…ok so I begin with a really cheesy pun, but starting off a post can be difficult you know, so any way in is a welcome way as far as I can see. This is a lovely little piece by Mr Klue, tucked away in the borderlands between St Pauls and St Werberghs.

Mr Klue usually works with abstract continuous shapes with curves and angles, sort of what dreams might look like (I realise that only makes sense to me). Here he creates a scene of a man sitting at a desk with his PC and a window to look out of. It could be me working at home! Again, there is a dream like quality to the work and the pastel colours have a calming effect. Although I photographed this piece in June 2016, I think it was painted back in September 2015, which would explain the deterioration in some of the paint. Quality piece though.
