Upfest 11 - The Holy Trinity
June 6 2011
Despite rain at the weekend this did not deter Matt, Koze and Dan from creating our latest piece at Upfest 11, Europe’s largest street art festival.
Amazingly the guys still managed to complete this massive 9 metre mural in Southville, Bristol. So what’s the piece about I hear you say - well let me explain….
The great genie Chee-Chee towers over a world of raw potential inhaling inspiration from all around. On a quest to spread creativity throughout the universe he returns to this world to recharge. He can only continue to live for as long as he carries creativity within him.
Chee-Chee stands before three mystical totems representing graffiti, digital art and drawing. These old totems are shattering and morphing into one, providing a new source of creative energy.
The inhabitants of this world are artistic souls. They worship Chee-Chee - see their fanfare of confetti as they celebrate his return and rejuvenation at this awe inspiring spectacular. It will not be long until he can blast off into the universe, ready to ignite the creative genius that lies within all of us.
There is some rather nice footage of the lovely Steve infront of the mural for the new Upfest promotional video, as well as coverage on the local news and on Exposure Room.
