Work of street artist, Jimmy C
This work appeared in March 2016, so how did it take me so long to discover it?
You can see from these close ups, that Jimmy C made great use of his dotty style – the perfect way to give us those beautiful star trails.
It is interesting to note that the star trail piece was an adaptation of an earlier Jimmy C mural on this wall. The previous piece was a tranquil mountain scene, with a couple walking where the girl now kneels. It is now a much more dramatic, and thought-provoking work.

This is amazing. I adore the colors and the art. Reminds me of poinillism (made famous by Seurat) on steroids. You found a real beauty in that mural.

He may well have been influenced by that. And it works so well for street art and spray cans

It’s beautiful Debbie, really love his dot style paintings and the colours… it all goes so well together.

That’s a particularly beautiful mural, and it’s interesting that the artist replaced his own work. Sometimes it’s sad when a mural disappears, sometimes it’s a natural part of the art. I see them all as ephemeral, though I also deplore the intentional destruction of murals with a political justice theme as happens in L.A.

Great work. London is sure one of the mural capitals as is berlin and some american places.

Very odd. You should be able to enlarge any document / image / etc. Perhaps it need seem brute force from me 🙂
