Street art tribute to David Bowie, Manchester, 2016
French-born street artist, Akse, created this wonderful tribute to David Bowie.
He is a skilled portrait artist who graces streets around the world with his work. As he is based in Manchester, I have had the pleasure of seeing several of his pieces.
Other examples:
Nelson Mandela
Akse’s son

Thanks Paula It will be sad to see this one replaced by the next bout of street art.
