There is something deeply captivating about this piece by Umbrelle (Exe), which was part of the Mexican paint jam alongside the M32. It is bold and quite uncompromising and has a sprinkling of the Virgin Mary about it.
The portrait of a woman is striking, I think, because of the oranges and reds that glow on her face. There is also the ‘Clockwork Orange’ eye makeup that is so arresting. This is a bold and interesting piece by Umbrelle who is a tattooist by profession. Great job.
This is a special wall just off North Street, opposite the Upfest shop. The wall is a bit like the PRSC outdoor gallery, in that it is a place where street artists can show off their great works in the near certainty that it will not get tagged. The wall is respected.
The colours used are reminiscent of those he used to paint the hands and moth, further along North Street last year. There is something about this colour combination that is difficult to photograph, there is quite a lot of reflection, which you don’t get with the naked eye. The point being that the photographs don’t do it justice. It is a beautiful and spiritual piece, like much of his work. All good.
