Love the Shadow Under the Clowds Bristol

“Love the Shadow Under the Clowds”. Squirl’s abstract country scene is part of his ‘Forest Friends’s series. It can be found on the side of the Pony on the corner of St Francis Street and North Street. The idea is to bring some countryside vibrancy into the city. Another piece by Squirl can also be seen on a nearby street called ‘The Nursery

The large mural is by Squirl, who has painted a few times in Bristol, mostly at Upfest, but also in collaboration with SPZero76 as part of the Gums and Tongue crew. This is a beautifully designed landscape scene in a highly stylised and colourful form. A stunner, and as fortune would have it, the roadworks in front of it made it easier to photograph as there are usually cars permanently parked in front of this wall. Great piece from Squirl.

Sophie Mess Tobacco Factory Bristol

flowers street art mural by Sophie Mess Bristol

 Painting the giant Tobacco Factory wall is Sophie Mess. It’s possibly the most iconic wall in Upfest and certainly it is the largest. Her work connects words with botanical inspiration. Her piece in Bristol is dominated by the word ‘Wonder’ interweaved against a selection of purple Irises. “At the very basis my work is to spark a reminder or appreciation for how wonderful our natural world is” Sophie told me about her work. “But also this piece is about ‘wonder’ and really that’s whatever that could mean to the viewer on a personal level. For me it’s all about the wonder in all of us, and it’s a big colour reminder for anyone who may be struggling to remember or see that you are so full of wonder ”.
