Streets of Manchester (Manchester)

admin — Tue, 24 Aug 2010 22:16:03 +0000

During my visit in Manchester for the exhibition The beautiful and the damned, I happened to have time for a quick stroll in the city, in particular in the Northern Quarter.

Although Manchester and Liverpool are famous for their animosity as far as football is concerned, street artists have made their own choice. In Manchester streets can for instance be found pieces by Obey, Banksy, Space Invader, Kid Acne, Ariz or Roid MSK:

The Beautiful And The Dammed (Manchester)

The Mooch Contemporary Street Art gallery yesterday had its second exhibition, and introduced for the occasion three British artists whose works are mostly based on portraits, with three very different styles.

Danny O’connor, a Liverpudlian artist, makes canvases in an abstract style and mostly works with several layers overlapping each other.
Ben Slow uses a lot drips and thrown paint in his portraits.
As for Gemma Compton, she makes magnificent and very realistic paintings of half-human, half-animal characters.

I am afraid this will be the last post about Paris for some time, as I am now living among the awesome British people.

However, the content of this last post is high quality, especially this magnificent French/German/Italian mural by Ankh, Wire, Sheda, Reso, Opium, Katre, Mr Wany, Astro, Rusl, Rota, Shane, Esty, Zeus40 and Next.
