Graffiti artists from around the world were invited to transform the brutalist post-war architecture of Bristol, England's Nelson Street.
Tim Maughan writes that the public art experience, an event called See No Evil, transformed "...the whole area from drab, urban decay into what feels like a new – almost virtual – space." As opposed to other cities who fight graffiti tooth and nail, the Bristol City Council is supportive of the project.
This is See No Evil, the UK's largest street art project.
72
artists including some of the biggest names in graffiti in the world
descended on Nelson Street in Bristol, painting masterpieces through the
night to create a permanent cultural legacy for the city.
Dozens
of buildings, a bridge, 6 mega cranes, 326 metres of street, 26
scaffold towers, 325 litres of emulsion, 13,400 cans of paint and
thousands of happy visitors
See it through the artist's eyes and get a sneaky peek at some amazing pieces of art.
Organised
by Inkie, Team Love and Weapon of Choice with the support of Bristol
City Council and Nelson Street's building owners, we celebrated the
project with an NYC style block party and three 'Hear No Evil' events in
the incredible disused Westgate building.
Recorded over a week and edited in just 8 hours, special thanks go to Hurricane Media for this video.
