This charming piece by Conrico is dated 2025, which gives you some indication of how infrequently I visit this spot. Given its age, it has lasted pretty well and hasn’t been tagged at all, the main tell-tale sign of age is the rain-splattered dust kicked up along the bottom margin of the piece.

A delightful and optimistic cat is featured, peering over the edge of a table on which sits some Japanese sushi, a culinary theme that Conrico has used before. For anyone who has owned cats, this is a familiar scene, especially the extended claws making ready for a smash and grab manoeuvre. Superb story-telling from Conrico.

I think the thing I love most about this outstanding piece from Conrico is that it is probably the most surprising subject for street art imaginable. A Japanese takeaway sushi meal, still in its plastic container, is either completely bonkers or utterly inspired, and I prefer to err on the side of the latter.

There is no question that this is brilliantly painted in Conrico’s paint brush style, the plastic transparent box alone is worth a mention. Take a look at the delicacies inside the box, and you will notice that they spell out Conrico Steez, the full signature of the artist. I love, love, love this creative food fiesta – bravo!
