This is a curious shutter piece painted on a new Kashmiri restaurant in St Pauls. It is a little off the beaten track, but on one of my dog-walking circuits. The piece is signed by Zase, but it is quite unlike most of his work, and is most likely painted to a commission brief.
The piece is a stunning mountainous landscape, with a river running through rolling hills and a cherry blossom dangling across the piece in the foreground. The piece is unusual, because you simply don’t see this kind of thing very often in Bristol. It is beautiful.
On the other side of the restaurant entrance is a flag-map of Kashmir. I am not certain that Zase is the artist, because it is so utterly different from his normal style, and it isn’t quite finished to the sharp quality I would expect. The whole thing though is a refreshing change from the usual fare I see every single day.
