Cities of Hope, Street Art, Manchester - May 2016

Street artists gathered in Manchester the last week of May, the aim to highlight social injustice.

Whilst I didn't track them all down, I gave it a good go in my old stomping ground of Ancoats an the Northern Quarter.

First off we have Dale Grimshaw, a local artist, I first saw his work at the the ghost ship known as the Duke of Lancaster and his art is always colourful and stunningly good.

Next up Pichiavo, for the charity Guns to Goods.

I didn't catch them all, as I said, but one I did however snap was the mural by Phlegm for Ancoats Dispensary Trust - but I'm going dissect that piece a little more in my next post.

David Bowie street art, Manchester

I've rambled on about the sterilisation of Manchester over the last few years, so following the recent death of David Bowie the street artist Akse got a little bit busy on Stevenson Square and produced something a little special.

Other art work currently in the Northern Quarter can be found, just not as stunning.

 

Rather cool, I thought.
