691. Wilder Street (13)

When Meds and Peal visited Bristol a little while back they teamed up with several Bristol artists to work on some stunning collaborations. This is a large wall on Wilder Street that had previously played host to a fine collaboration between Deamze, Voyder and Soker. It is a popular wall, which I believe needs permission from the owners to be painted. Rather than interrupt the images with short paragraphs of text, I thought on this occasion I would simply let the pictures do the talking. Along with Meds and Peal, this piece was sprayed by Sled One, Ments and Epok. Please don’t ask who did what…it could take a while to unpick.

669. M32 Roundabout J3 (33)

This is an extraordinary collaboration between two Leeds-based artists Meds (from the Uprising Crew) and Peal (from the Bad Taste Krew) and Bristol-based Ments. It is a stunning work, and what I don’t get is how they all manage to stick to the style and stay ‘on message’ if there is such a thing in graffiti art.

The colour selections are terrific and in line with many of the other pieces that were sprayed at the same time on this long wall. I can definitely see the Ments influences on this piece, but as I am not familiar with the other two artists, it is hard to know who influenced what. The piece says ZORDS, although I’m afraid my ignorance shines through at this point as I have no idea what Zords is.

It is always great to see the work of visiting artists on the streets of Bristol, especially having a great time with a collaboration like this. They also sprayed another large wall in Wilder Street, probably on the same trip, which I will feature soon. Great work.
