Wall Art


I found this colourful guy on a wall by the art school earlier this summer but never got around to posting it. On a dull day like we are having today I thought he would be just perfect. Signed by Horus, I have found several works on google by this artist around town so will have to keep my eyes open. I like how the inset window is in total contrast to the guy!

    Cool work, he has an intriguing expression on his face, and I like the colours too! ;-)

    That window is quite different in comparison to the whole piece. I wonder if it was planned that way or if one came after the other.

    Another good capture, do you ever catch them in the act of painting I wonder?

    Different, for sure, but I don't know if I'd call it art.

    Love his face, and you are right, that little inset window is intriguing.

    Hmmm. I wonder why there's an inset window there.

    My first thought was he resembles Tiger Woods when Tiger misses a short putt!

    I can't figure out the figure in the inset whatsoever.

    I wonder what the artists inspiration was.
