Street Artist JimmyC Paints Caledonian Road

| No Comments | No TrackBacks

Street artist JimmyC painted up a wall on the southern end of Caledonian Road (near King's Cross) last month. He replaced an older mural that he had painted on the same wall, which was of a similar theme with a wide and sweeping landscape. I happened to be walking down this street when I discovered the piece, and it was also freshly-painted having just been finished a day or two previously. The work is created using the artist's signature pointillist style where he creates different splashes or orbs of colour in varying sizes in order to add detail, light, and shade.

One side of the wall is a portrait, and JimmyC is known for his work with portraits. (In fact, his David Bowie piece in Brixton, which I covered here in January, is now protected.)

The portrait features a young 'futuristic' woman. In the other view, a sweeping landscape emerges with the back of a girl. This appears to be the same girl in the photograph, who is in a futuristic landscape with a white dove, 'star tracks', and mountains. The hanging basket makes one of the trees appear to have green foilage when viewed from the distance.

A photograph showing both walls together is below.

I love seeing this artist's work and hope that we can see more soon.
