INKIE street art mural Bristol

INKIE street art mural Bristol

Inkie – Petrie Glazers, North Street – 

Bristol local and Upfest regular Inkie already has a number of pieces across nearby streets. He is synonymous with the local street art and graffiti scene. His graffiti nouveau technique being instantly recognisable. The mural overlooking North Street is a homage to his home town of Bristol and the ASK crew which is Bristol based and which he is a member of

Somehow Upfest wouldn’t feel like Upfest without a landmark Inkie piece, and the area plays host to several of his pieces still, from years gone by. Inkie – Bristol – ASK (After Schook Klub) – Vikki. Says it all. A true beauty

This weekends event is in partnership with @canalrivertrust
We'd like to thank them for partnering with us and for all the work they do along the canal.
Here is a little more info about the project... As part of the 200th anniversary celebrations Canal & River Trust will be launching a new nationwide Canal Street Art Trail during the Sheffield Waterfront Festival.  The first year of this trail is focussed on Sheffield and is supported by players of the People’s Postcode Lottery (PPL). A series of bold, colourful artworks will be placed along the city’s waterway.  We are working with Concrete Canvas and Sheffield-based street artists, who alongside Affix will be producing new canal art work over the coming year. The Canal Street Art Trail will also include artworks created by local community groups working in collaboration with street artists.  Further details to be announced shortly.

Tasha Whittle Cornbrook Metrolink Station Manchester

Tasha Whittle Cornbrook Metrolink Station

Artist Tasha Whittle has created an ambitious, large-scale mural for Cornbrook Tram Station underpass, one of the busiest on the Metrolink network. The project has been commissioned by developers Glenbrook and supported by Castlefield Gallery. 

The stop is named after the now culverted Corn Brook, a tributary of the River Irwell which runs through the area. The mural design is inspired by the little known history of the area, as well as the flora and fauna that now occupies it.

Standing on what was Pomona Gardens, a public pleasure ground (also known as Cornbrook Strawberry Gardens), the grounds were purchased and developed by James Reilly in 1868 and included many attractions such as the Royal Pomona Palace and botanical gardens. The gardens were closed in the 1880s as a result of the land being acquired for the extension of the Manchester docks. 

The mural design plays with size, enlarging nature and includes lapwing, skylark, dunnock and bullfinch, birds that can all be spotted in the area. These are hidden within meadowsweet, yellow-wort, exotic looking bee orchid’s, bindweed, set among Whittle’s signature smiling oxeye daisies. 

The artist’s work highlights just how rich the natural environment is in the area, and that we share such spaces with many non-human creatures. Whilst creating the work she was inspired by the idea of nature or wildlife corridors; passageways for wild species that provide safe routes between habitats.  Whittle reminds us we are part of a delicate ecosystem and without it life wouldn’t be as colourful, beautiful and unique, and humanity wouldn’t exist as we know it. 

Tasha Whittle is a multidisciplinary artist based in Manchester, UK. She received her BA(Hons) in Illustration and Animation from Manchester School of Art. Her varied practice involves drawing, mural painting, screen printing, site specific installations and interactive analogue sound sculptures. Whittle is fascinated by the connection to space/place, community and how that works within our ecosystem. Her signature style interweaves heartfelt emotions with colour, biophilia, anthropomorphism and uses characters to create landscapes where nature is here and wants to make its presence known. 

Founder of Outhouse – an outdoor project space for public art based in various locations around Manchester’s Northern Quarter, Whittle has also recently been commissioned by Rochdale City Council (2020),  Manchester International Festival (2019),  Rochdale Pioneers Museum for Uprising Mural Festival (2019), and Manchester City Football Club (2018).
