Guardians of the Bicycle Racks

Guardians of the Bicycle Racks
This street art has been on this wall in Chichester, West Sussex for quite some time. I photographed it three yours ago, but without the bikes in shot (See PiP). I think this version is much better.

Details of the original artist: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stik (thanks to Dida from Augsberg).

Best viewed large, on black. Thanks.

I love it! The combination with the bicycles and the road sign puts the street art into context.

Great observation and worthy of a street art exhibition Keith. Somehow the featureless faces do have an expression of thought.
Pleased to see this in the Group P,O M 43.

Oh yes! No one would dare touch those bikes with these brothers looking on Keith!. I remember seeing their cousins in Glastonbury. Their form is so simple yet really effective. They are great :-)) Well spotted and very pleased you took their picture again.

Thank you all from dropping by and commenting. You're all very kind..!!

I've never known who the artist was, but Dida from Augsberg has kindly provided a link to his work (above) and I've now added it to my description under the photo. It's well worth having a look. He uses the name Stik..!!

Die Radfahrer scheinen wenig Vetrauen in die Wächter zu haben, denn sie haben ihre Fahrräder abgeschlossen. Schöner Fund, Keith!

Locking the bikes is a sensible thing to do in this country Wilhelm.........no matter who is guarding them :-)

Glad you like the Guardians though!
