7663. Peel Street Green (63)

I believe Vermo to be one of the most unusual graffiti writers I have come across. His letters are separated by space and appear as hovering ‘bubbles’ which are connected only by the void between them.

This technique lends itself very well to being slapped onto any wall, regardless of what already exists there, without the need to prep the wall or buff it. In this combination piece, the letters are accompanied by a little character pointing, in the bottom left-hand corner. There is white plasma bolt running across the piece, which at first glance might look a bit like the piece has been dogged, but it is definitely part of the composition. Something different from Vermo.

I have a feeling that Vermo is going to become a fairly regular ‘contributor’ to the pages of Natural Adventures as the artist’s pieces are appearing all over the city and show no signs of slowing. I might need to delve into my archives too to bring to the surface some pieces from the last year or so.

Vermo’s unique ‘floating’ letters are unlike any other graffiti writing I have seen in Bristol or for that matter anywhere else. In this piece, the letters cryptically spelling VERMO have a form of drop shadow in pink and yellow drifting to the right, and unusually the whole thing is contained in a turquoise border, giving it something of a more conventional appearance.

It has taken me a long time to figure out the letters in this writing, and I am not too sure I would have done so without Paul H’s recent posting of a piece by the artist. The letters spell VERMO, but you have to study them pretty hard to figure it out, as they are deliberately deceptive. Once you know them you can see them, but it is that first time of working it out that takes the time.

I have a lot of Vermo’s pieces to share from my archives, but I decided to start with this combination piece alongside the river. Unusually this piece of writing includes a character, where most of his pieces contain only the ‘floating’ letters that are made up of component shapes, for example, both the ‘E’ and the ‘M’ are composed of three ovals of increasing size in different orientations. I wouldn’t quite know how to classify Vermo’s writing, but it might fall into the category of abstract graffiti writing, a bit like Mr Klue, but quite different in appearance.
