The street art at Stevenson Square seems to change more quickly than I can keep up with. This large purple faced man has since been painted over and next Monday I shall show what replaced it. I didn't like this work of art at first, probably due to the clash of colours, but it later grew on me, and now it is gone!

Still a great mural.Must be a crazy day yesterday with all that football. Is there also a mural to remember it.
ReplyDeleteAm sure there will be a football mural at City to mark yesterday, if not at Utd. City parade through the streets this evening-so will see if anyone paints the town red, I mean blue
DeleteIt is an interesting one - strange choice of color I think. Will be interesting to see what replaced it!
ReplyDeleteGood thing then that you decided to grab a photo.
ReplyDeletethis may be a challenge for you to photograph every one!
ReplyDeleteI hope the paraders do not get out of hand.
Impressive face, the artist is very talented!Wonderful mural!
ReplyDeleteLéia
This is wonderful!
ReplyDeletehe appears to be looking down his nose at everyone...
ReplyDeletePerhaps he is a United fan, he looks quite fed up.
ReplyDeleteThere's a lot of nuanced shading in this piece. Pity it's already gone. Is it understood that your art is not likely to last on the Square? It must make each walk through the square a trip of discovery. I'm glad you got a picture to share with us. Thanks for participating in this week's Monday Mural.
ReplyDeleteI am not sure how it exactly worksm but there are about 6 spaces around there that are obviously managed. Artists exhibit for a couple of months it seems, in the knowledge that their work will be replaced by another artist's at the end of that period.
DeleteHe doesn't look pleased - maybe knows he won't last long!
ReplyDeleteI think I would need some time for it to grow on me as well. My first impression is not so strong, but I do like the colors.
ReplyDeletewonderful colours indeed. please have a good tuesday.
ReplyDeleteI have that reaction to public art sometimes too, and then it goes just as I'm getting used to it. I like these colors too, and the somewhat disdainful expression.
ReplyDeleteI like the serious, sad and thoughtful expression.
ReplyDeleteGreat capture of this street art.
ReplyDeleteIt's very interesting to read the different impressions of this mural. Without knowing the context I see only a sad suffering face, but hauntingly painted. No rage. But what a lot of work just to have it painted over. You've saved the image for posterity. And I like the POV you're showing with the surrounding colours.
ReplyDeleteYep, like it or not, it's a nice piece of street art!
ReplyDeleteNice photo also!
I like Space Race better ... not sure what it is about the current one that puts me off a bit, but it is street art and worth featuring for sure.
