The top piece is in Brighton, opposite a spray paint shop, and is so incredible you find yourself looking for ages... the fact that it uses the perspective of the building and incorperates it into the piece, making it 3-d is something I have not seen anywhere else. It is a fun image depicting a barber, who is questioning whether (accidentally or not) the stripe he has just shaved looks good. There is the hiphop influence for the graf, with the stripe in the shape of an arrow, that is usually only present with graffitti writing. There is also an insane amount of minute detail, which draws the viewer in for much longer than expected. What strikes me so much about this piece is the concept combined with the aesthetic quality. It is simply brilliant. Who created it???
The second piece was my favorite in Leeds. I loved the calm mural style of the decoration and the design of the face. It is a personal pose as a reaction to some comment, look or message. I just love how it draws me in and remains balanced throughout. Beautiful.
