I am really enjoying the art of Sketch. His modern pieces appear to draw so much inspiration from twentieth century styles, incorporating bright colours and abstract shapes and ideas. In this piece, Sketch seems to be experimenting on a rather busy concrete column under the M32.

The abstract shape seems to resemble a human form, but not quite, and it has been embellished with four nicely presented spheres and four purple ‘drips’. There is a simplicity of form that conjures up lots of ideas in the mind of the viewer. I am looking forward to Sketch breaking out of this safe space under the M32 and venturing to some of the more public spots… hoping it happens.

292. Upper York Street (1)

When I started blogging about street art, roughly a year ago, I didn’t post very often about Bristol’s writers. I think that is because wildstyle writing is a bit of an acquired taste…but once you have a taste for it, it becomes addictive, like so many things in life.

Deamze has really been at the heart of winning me over to this graffiti art form – his pieces are everywhere and his styles vary, but they are always unmistakably his. He is part of Bristol’s USP and should be more widely celebrated in my view. This stunning piece is on a building at the junction between Upper York Street and Wilder Street, which is becoming my favourite graff area.

There is little point in me writing much about how good this piece is. Just look at it and admire his immense talent.
