Portrait of Alfred Jarry, Pitfield Street, Shoreditch, London, January 2017
Alfred Jarry (1873 – 1907) was a French writer known best for his play “Ubu Roi” and his creation of the term pataphysics, a concept in which every event in the universe is accepted as an extraordinary event.
The portrait above is on a wall next to the fascinating Bookartbookshop, a spot where a variety of murals commissioned by the shop appear. Both the wall and the shop are worth a visit.

That is one intense gaze. Is this bookshop painted in the same color as the iconic phone boxes? Sorry for the Linky snafu and thanks for contributing to this week’s Monday Mural.

Yes, I hadn’t really thought of that, but yes it is probably a perfect match!
