GLIMPSE OF THE EAST ON WALLS OF THE NORTH

Submitted by Editor on Thu, 11/08/2011 - 10:19

A series of stencilled graffiti in up to four colours has appeared on a section of wall and pavement in Cathedral Lane.

Mysteriously oriental, the designs depict interweaving geometric designs, artfully arranged Indian hands, and – perhaps – a Hindu deity with snakes in her hair.

These rather interesting artworks announce a new talent working locally, one with a distinctive aesthetic and a taste for decorative playfulness.

Amid so much urban violence and discontent in the news recently, it is quite refreshing to find one of the pieces dominated by a single word – 'HAPPY!'

If you spot any further examples, please let us know.
