39. Church Road

Another fabulous mural created as part of Upfest 2105. This huge scene by DANK (Dan Kitchener) above the Salvation Army shop on the corner of Church Street and North Street is worth a trip to the area on its own. It reminds me of some of the street scenes from Blade Runner – and that is a good thing.

DANK, a London artist remains on the legal side of street art, and supports it through the large amount of commercial work that he does. He includes among his influences comics, science fiction films and black and white ’60s war films. There is a good interview with him from a couple of years ago here.

38. Dean Lane (1)

I took a swift walk through Bedminster today and encountered this very recently sprayed simple stencil.

I don’t know the artist because it is unsigned. It is really charming and makes use of the wall’s features.

Update 1 August 2022 – I believe this delightful piece was by Diff

But it was a nightmare

 

It was not a bad

dream; our night time visitor

dropped ‘Bun’ in the loo.

37. Leonard Lane (4)

The fourth work from Leonard Lane, but certainly not the last. It really is a goldmine of environment related street art.

This is another lovely mural by Stewy which accompanies his Dodo and DJ Derek in the same street. I admire street art that incorporates its surroundings, like the window bars here.

Deeply superficial

 

When tomorrow comes

will I be any wiser

or more frivolous?

36. York Street

The side of this house and the wall next to it have recently been given a wonderful makeover by Zase and Dekor. This is typical of the large murals we expect from this magnificent pairing. See their work in Cottrell Road, featured previously.

Typical of their work are the scale, vibrant colours and dream-like scenes. I am not too sure what this is about, but flight appears to be the central theme.

These works all contain the main themed image with a wonderfully worked wildstyle signature incorporated.

Zase lives locally, and there are several more of his works nearby.

Summer’s lease…

 

How long must we wait

to revel in warmth again

and bathe in sunlight?
