7586. Sparke Evans Park (148)

The turnover at Sparke Evans Park had been quite slow over the winter months, as pretty much the whole wall had been adopted as a tribute wall for Paroe and to a lesser extent Dorns. Over time new pieces emerge, but mostly as single or doubles at most out of respect for the tributes.

With the emergence of spring, and a limited number of walls available to paint, tribute walls are a luxury that have their time but yield eventually to new art. RBN One painted this awesome piece at the far right-hand end of the wall at Sparke Evans Park. His beautiful grey letters, lifted with a great 3D drop shadow, are filled with a red mid-line and grey and white reversed out spots. The dramatic yellow background with floating blocks is a perfect host for the piece. Lovely graffiti writing.

7583. St Werburghs tunnel (577)

Mr Klue has returned and taken up one of his favourite spots at the entrance to St Werburghs tunnel. To me, this one looks a little different from many of his recent pieces. The letters KLUE look much more chunky and slightly compressed.

The familiar scrolls are larger than usual and feature strongly in this piece of abstract writing. Towards the top of the piece it looks like there are vapours rising skywards. Some tiny bursts of orange hint at something going on in the piece, almost as if it is about to burst into flames. Nice work from Mr Klue, king of the tunnel.

I hadn’t seen much activity from Noise over the winter months, so much so that I wondered whether he might have moved away. I needn’t have worried as he is now painting regularly again, and with some outstanding results.

I love the colour combination of this piece of graffiti writing on the long wall at Cumberland Basin. Light blues and pinks always work so well together. His letters are a little less chunky than usual, leaving room for a strong drop shadow in a slightly contrasting blue. Set on a black wall, the piece stands out nicely. He finishes with some words “time for action” which could mean any number of things, but Noise knows what.

It would appear that Hire prefers writing the letters ODIAH to HIRE these days and he has also changed his Instagram handle, perhaps reflecting a transition of his persona. This is a beauty painted at L Dub, in the open section of the long tunnel

The letters are very nicely constructed and filled with minimal green and black colours that contrast with the lower drop shadow. The curiosity of this piece, quite literally, is the addition of dozens of question marks scattered around the black background. It is always a pleasure finding Hire’s work.

Stivs is an incredibly talented artist who is as comfortable painting his character pieces as he is with his calligraffiti. His has been producing pieces at a steady pace over the past few months, but I haven’t bumped into him for a long while… maybe our clocks are on a different plane.

Tucked away in a corner of the DIY skate park underneath the M32, this piece is a classic bit of Stivs Calligraffiti writing. The letters are beautifully presented with a perfect midline providing depth to the letters. There are four shades of  pink in the letters for the top, bottom, left and right elevations, which leaves us with a 3D effect, as if the letters are standing out from the hoarding. Skilful work.

I was lucky enough to meet RBN One while he was painting this piece alongside Corupt. I couldn’t recall seeing his work before, but it turns out on closer inspection of my archives that I have seen his work, but never posted it because I didn’t know who he was. RBN One hails from the Chippenham area if I remember correctly, and comes to Bristol every once in a while.

The letters spell ‘ARBIEN’ – spoken phonetically as RBN… clever stuff. The whole thing is quite beautiful. His letters are clean and clear, filled with a variety of spots, shapes and lines. His drop shadow is flawless, and serves to lift the piece from the wall. All in all a feast for the eyes. Expect to see more here soon.

I have a feeling that this piece by Veks, spelling ‘MUM’, might have been painted on or around St Patrick’s Day, although I can’t be sure. I rather like these personal tribute pieces to family and friends, they show a certain amount of love and respect which is a very good thing indeed.

The letters are beautifully presented and filled with the colours of the Irish tricolour. A superb drop shadow, subtly striped, is bounded by a light orange border. Some finishing touches of shamrocks around the outside of the piece are accompanied by a couple of butterflies. Great stuff from Veks.

It feels like Werm has stepped up a level recently. His work has always been technically sound, and he has always been up for adjusting his style from time to time, but there is something about his presentation and confidence that has gone up a level.

This is a super piece, which looks on the surface to be a ‘simple’ piece, probably because of it’s clean and tidy appearance. It takes a huge amount of talent and experience to create a piece like this. The symmetry of the letters is very well worked, and the seamless wavy pattern of fills, appears effortless, but is really tricky. There is a nice stripy drop shadow, and a touch of green decoration around the outside. The piece looks extra excellent because it is painted on a cleanly buffed wall. Really great stuff here from Werm.

Zeks has been quite visible recently, which has to be good news. His unusual style is rather refreshing and very particular to the artist. This piece was painted as part of a broader paint jam a few weeks back.

The zig-zaggy letters in white and blue, decorated with simple reversed out crosses, carry a deep black and yellow drop shadow, to the left. The letters sit on a nicely buffed wall and are immediately surrounded by some pink and purple spots. The tree to the left is by Conrico – more on this in a following post.
