Nice One is one of the most dynamic artists in Bristol, switching up his font writing with his portraits and landscapes. This hoarding, which he has kind of made his own, is currently hosting this magnificent winter scene, the sort of composition so rarely painted in Bristol or anywhere else for that matter.
The snow, the church, the bare trees and the milky sky offer a taste of a classic English winter landscape. The trees are particularly evocative of a cold winter’s day. The artist has included his letters Nice One in orange and only partially present, a trademark mechanism he uses. I am rather pleased that the colours of the sky in his piece are mirrored by the sky in the photograph, demonstrating the relevance and accuracy of his artwork. A winter wonderland.

I love the way that street and graffiti artists are so quick to find new hoardings, a job, in fairness, made much easier when they are adjacent to an existing known spot. So it is with these hoardings near the M32 Spot. Nice One has painted another of his stunning landscape pieces on this virgin board and it looks fantastic.
The winter scene features a rural landscape with bare trees and a church tower, all covered in snow. It is a pretty scene and one that is rarely seen in street art. Nice one is an interesting character who combines a subversive edge with a fine art and design style, and he is producing some of the best artwork in Bristol at the moment (in my opinion). A wonderful piece.
