4001. Princess Street (1), Burnham-on-Sea

These pictures were taken on my first visit to Burnham-on-Sea, and this little street art oasis was not the easiest to find, being slightly off Princess Street itself. I had seen this wonderful wall by Mind Control posted on Instagram a few times, so was pleased to be able to find it.

There is a slightly sinister and threatening tone to quite a lot of Mind Control’s work, and if I am honest I find this piece a little disturbing. The darkness, expressions and gestures in the piece are interesting, but are definitely an acquired taste. Cleverly thought out and painted though, this piece represents another stage in the artist’s development.
