Solar, Sparke Evans Park, Bristol, September 2026

Solar is managing to keep up a steady drumbeat of activity this year and is constantly developing his style, but as well as that he is also improving his technique, and turning out some really fantastic pieces, bridging that awkward space between anti-style and conventional graffiti writing with great skill, not letting go of his principles as he progresses.

This elongated piece spells out SOLAR with the letters being divided through the middle with what look like vertical plates. The wholr thing looks like a vehicle of some kind, with windscreens at the right-hand end. There are some interesting colour variations as you progress through the piece and an array of fills, starbursts and highlights throughout, making this a visually very interesting piece.

Subtle, Sparke Evans Park, Bristol, September 2026

Another recent piece by Subtle, but this time looking much more like the Subtle writing we are used to seeing. I have to say that is is hugely welcome to see him painting back in come of the regular spots again after a bit of a quiet spell.

This piece has all the hallmarks of a Subtle piece. A nicely buffed wall, a long spread of his letters, taking up a lot of wall space and all beautifully presented with a deep drop shadow. Classic Subtle.

Peking, Sparke Evans Park, Bristol, July 2026

This piece is a little different, and just by looking at it I knew that it wasn’t by a Bristol writer. There was a clue to the artist’s identity in the phrase at the bottom “from Bremen to Bristol”. It was signed Peking, which left me with enough to do some Interweb searching and identify the graffiti writer as German artist, Peking, @beijing_zdf.

I guess the most notable feature of this piece of graffiti writing is the thick yellow border following the edge of the letters, and the contrasting lime green drop shadow. The organic browns of the letter fills round off the piece nicely which has an overall earthy feel of soil, vegetation and sun, consciously or unconsciously created by Peking. Welcome to Bristol, come back any time.

Solar, Sparke Evans Park, Bristol, April 2026

I am enjoying Solar’s ‘renaissance’ very much. In recent months there appears to have been an upwards shift in the quality of and confidence in his work. He has always had a recognisable style, and now he appears to be firming it up and creating consistent excellence.

This is a lovely tribute piece to Paroe on the long wall at Sparke Evans Park, which must be an anniversary piece a year or so on from the original tribute wall. The anti-style writing, spelling PAROE is painted in beautifully blended yellow and turquoise colours, presented on a neutral beige background. There is some nice marbling and detailing throughout the piece, which is a fine tribute to a popular artist who is obviously much missed.

Werm, Sparke Evans Park, Bristol, June 2026

Just when you think you have seen all the improvements and variations Werm can make with his letters, he comes up with an original piece like this one. Spelling out the letters WERM, the piece is almost (but not quite) perfectly symmetrical.

The thick letters are filled with blues and oranges, with a pink and purple puffy background… not a combination of colours that should work in my mind, but somehow it works really well and draws the eye. I think that this piece really demonstrated that Werm keeps pushing boundaries and developing his style. Never a dull moment.

Phome, Sparke Evans Park, Bristol, June 2026

The writing style in this magnificently colourful piece somehow feels quite familiar, but I haven’t come across the artist before, or at least, the letters PHOME.

The fire and water theme is cleverly reflected in the letter fills, and the letters themselves are nicely structured. Some purple bubbles surround the piece that is set on a pink buff. All in all a very nice piece of graffiti writing, but who is Phome?

Conrico, Sparke Evans Park, Bristol, June 2026

Conrico has had an exceptional few months, and even managed to secure a wall at Upfest 2026, something that I know he had been eager to achieve. His style of painting with ‘brush strokes’ using spray cans gives a unique look to his work and in particular his portraits.

Sandwiched between Werm and Kool Hand, this portrait piece features a woman taking a photograph of Kool Hand’s piece. I do like it when street art interacts in this way. The woman is beautifully presented and like many in his portraits has dyed hair. She casts a curious shadow which lifts her away from the wall. Lovely stuff from Conrico.

Corupt, Sparke Evans Park, Bristol, June 2026

Ooof! This is a belter from Corupt. Every once in a while you can find a piece and simply think ‘my work is done today’ that is how I felt when I saw this beauty. I don’t know exactly what it is that makes one piece more special than another, but for me this one has it.

Using his STICK letters, Corupt (whose proper name is more likely BS3 – but I have always used Corupt) has crafted so many varied and intricate fills in his letters, but has managed to a buzz without it feeling fussy or pretentious. I love the little star character at the top, which is the tittle of the ‘i’. Set on a gorgeous stormy background too. This is classy graffiti writing.

Solar, Sparke Evans Park, Bristol, June 2026

Solar is smashing it out of the park everywhere I look at the moment. He seems to have upped his game over the last few months and is reaching new level of confidence, creativity and execution.

This is a banging piece on the long wall at Sparke Evans Park. The irregular letters, fringing on anti-style, have a space age look to them, with the ‘S’ looking like a space ship and the ‘R’ looking like the visor of a space helmet. All of this might be just what I see, but it is now difficult for me to unsee it. Definitely a fresh and vibrant piece of writing from a writer at the top of his game, so far.

Conrico, Noise and Stivs, Sparke Evans Park, Bristol, May 2026

This is a wonderful collaboration painted by Conrico, Noise and Stivs, who were participating in the World Wall Stylers challenge (Chapter 26) on reggae legends. Although these were painted in April, they were still looking pretty fresh in May.

Conrico, Sparke Evans Park, Bristol, May 2026

First up is a lovely portrait piece by Conrico of Pablo Gad, a lyricist of ‘when I was a yout’ by Ed Solo. I grabbed that information off Conrico’s Instagram thread, without which I wouldn’t have known any of this. The red, gold and green are well represented, and the portrait presented in Conrico’s distinctive brush stroke style.

Noise, Sparke Evans Park, Bristol, May 2026

The middle section is a lovely bit of chunky graffiti writing from Noise that also carried the red gold and green colours that stand out beautifully against the black background.

Stivs, Sparke Evans Park, Bristol, May 2026

The collaboration is rounded off with an outstanding portrait of Lila Iké by Stivs. His portrait work is hitting new levels at the moment, which makes for very enjoyable viewing. Stivs is a little more subtle with his incorporation of the red, gold and green colours, incorporation them as part of the border surrounding the portrait.

All round, this is an outstanding collaboration.
