This is a rather unusual collaboration, and I can’t quite make up my mind whether it is a collaboration or two independent pieces that are sitting adjacent to each other I’ve not seen Benjimagnetic and Zake paint together before. My guess is that they both turned up at the same spot on the same day, and decided to paint alongside one another, which makes sense on this wall, because both artists tend to occupy squarish spaces, and this wall is a long rectangle.

To the left, Benjomagnetic has painted one of his customary GRO pieces in his distinctive cryptic style. The colours are a bit compromised because the wall was in shade with a bright sky behind. The shapes and colours that make up the whole are once again perfect.

The character by Zake is rather more elaborate than many of his pieces, and with more than a hint of Chinese dragon about it. There is a rather unsettling third eye in the forehead, and wispy smoke ‘bleeding’ from the main pair of eyes. Definitely curious and slightly odd, but very nicely painted. The long forked tongue rounds off things nicely. An unusual collaborative wall.
