Doors 69. Fournier Street (Part 2) – 25 April 2019

The second installment of doors from Fournier Street in the East End of London from a couple of weeks back. This week there is a bit of shutter action as well, and I suppose they are a kind of door, aren’t they? Here we go then…

362. Upfest 2016 (19)

It was not my intention to post two Upfest entries by the same artist so close together, but I am approaching all of this in a rather random way. So here we have the second wonderful offering from Caro Pepe in a rather short space of time.

This incredible work carries the overall theme of Mr. Men/Little Miss and presents us with Little Miss Sunshine. Once again, we see the single eye and flowing hair, but in this instance in a styalised form to fit the theme. It is funny, but this piece, more than many other Upfest works, just blends in so perfectly into the North Street ‘thing’ and feels like it has been here forever.

I do hope we can encourage Caro Pepe to visit us in Bristol again from her native Argentina.
