This is an absolute epic piece that didn't last nearly as long as it deserved, and the artists who over painted it should have, in my view, been a little bit more respectful, however everyone knows it is a jungle out there. The Wild West triptych is by Mudra, Kosc and Saor, all of NTS crew.
I managed to catch up with the artists while they were painting the piece, and watched as they went about it. There was a lot of planning involved, and they managed to get the proportions right to take out the whole wall in magnificent style.
To the left, and adopting the collaboration colour scheme, Mudra has written his name in reverse, I mean why not? The letters, in a block style, with each having a different design, a la SkyHigh look like a jumble of rocks in front of a saloon, on which Kosc and Mudra have left tags.
In the centre Kosc has painted a wonderful generic western portrait piece, pointing a smoking six-shooter at the viewer. I asked him if it was anyone in particular, and he said that it wasn't, which saved me having to guess when writing it up.
Completing the triptych, Saor has painted yet another tight, highly graphic set of letters, which closely resemble Epok's style of writing, but with his own unique stamp. On the buildings on this side, the crew name NTS and a Saor tag adorn the facade. The piece is so clean, and the colours perfectly matched - his work is stepping up to a higher level, without doubt. this is such an impressive epic piece which it is unusual to see outside of a festival, so the boys did really well. Bravo!
