We went to get images of Glen Molloy’s (ig) new ‘Two Ronnies’ mural in Gresham Street, but it was already being painted over by members of the TMN krew – CASP, ANCO, MASH, ROTER. The one Ronnie above was snapped before the transformation was complete.
Three memorials to “Hutchy 1985-2017” in Belfast city centre. The first in North Street replacing the recent Young Peacebuilders mural, the second and third in Garfield Street, as part of an ANOC tag (over the other Gonzales piece, FEEL) and over MarcaMix’s CNB15 piece.
Colombian artist Andres Gonzales (Fb | Flickr) was in town recently and painted two pieces in the city centre. Above, a “young peacebuilders” #youth4peace mural in North St; below, “Feel” in Garfield St.
Of his famous painting, Edvard Munch said “I stopped and looked out over the fjord — the sun was setting, and the clouds turning blood red. I sensed a scream passing through nature; it seemed to me that I heard the scream. I painted this picture, painted the clouds as actual blood. The color shrieked. This became The Scream.” (WP) Above: A Belfast yell with clouds of “peace” line green.
Two pieces of local commentary from the Cupar Way “peace” wall in west Belfast. “Fuck the peace process”, “Save the NHS”, and “[Secretary for Health] Jeremy Hunt is a total dick”.
