Werm has been on fire this year, turning out a variety of tight pieces, each with a slightly different look. This piece brings us back to his favoured structural letter style with a solid bilateral symmetry.

What makes this one stand out for me is the superb colour selection and freshness of the piece. Everything is near perfect. The letters are beautifully proportioned. The turquoise fill with its contiguous pattern of blue circles joined with lines has a molecular model feel to it, and is simply amazing. The red border is regular and clean and the piece sits on a beige buffed wall with superb red bricks randomly distributed. A very classy piece from Werm.

I struggle to keep up with Klashwhensober’s work, especially when there is so much new work appearing on the streets of Bristol every day, but I couldn’t let this one remain in the wings for too long, it is just too good.

I guess that for anyone not used to reading Klashwhensober’s writing, it can be a little tricky to decipher, but a tip is that he usually writes Klash, Sober or Soba… here it says Sober. The letters are thin, almost in a Logoe script style, but it is the two decorations that catch the eye, looking like little blue and red molecular models that you used to see in school. An absorbing and animated piece – really good.
