Upfest really is an extraordinary opportunity to see street art form all corners of the globe, and with it a huge variety of cultural styles, to add to the broad 'school of Bristol' street art and graffiti. This is a wonderful piece from Audrey Kawasaki…
Upfest really is an extraordinary opportunity to see street art form all corners of the globe, and with it a huge variety of cultural styles, to add to the broad 'school of Bristol' street art and graffiti. This is a wonderful piece from Audrey Kawasaki, a Japanese-American artist who lives and works in Los Angeles.
There is a strong mix of eastern and western cultures coming together in this beautiful piece, where the tiger represents the east and the girl the west, perhaps. Audrey Kawasaki (who has a fabulous website) appears to use this styling in a lot of her work and also I detect some Art Nouveau influences in her work that makes it super-interesting.
Audrey Kawasaki's composition in this mural is outstanding with the two central characters surrounded by crows and feathers and framed in a red 'cloudy' border. There is definitely a story in this piece, and it compels the viewer to want more. Clever and beautiful work from the visitor this year's Upfest.
