Southsea Street Art

Southsea Street Art
Another fantastic piece of artwork by local Southsea artist "My Dog Sighs".

This is on the wall of what used to be a huge Knight and Lee department store (and as it says on the wall, a branch of the John Lewis Partnership) which sadly, closed with a huge loss of jobs. It was one of two "flagship" stores in the shopping centre (the other being Debenhams, also closed down). I suspect both will soon be demolished and turned into housing.

The artist has a great sense of colour and a good humour Keith
Well seen and captured! It deserves to be saved in the event of demolition.
Nice one !

Glad you like this one Roger..........he's probably my favourite artist of all the local ones around here (and there are quite a few)!

I'm hoping it will survive.........it's painted on a sheet of wood which has been nailed across a large window, so it should be easy to take down and keep.

It would sell for a lot of money.............he's become more and more commercial over the past few years.

It's a great idea to build housing when there's no commercial activity!

Keith Burton club has replied to Typo93 club
I quite agree Typo...........but the main reason the commercial activity has reduced is that the two "flagship" stores that closed down were the ones attracting people to the shopping centre!!

This is probably my favourite artist from the art you show us Keith. This is superb. Such a shame that all the big department stores have closed. I really miss them.

Keith Burton club has replied to Rosalyn Hilborne club
Mine too Rosa............he's a genius! This one has was done a few weeks back, but this was first chance to photograph it. He has quite a following on Facebook and I use that to track down his new stuff.

The department stores were essential to the area, and it's really struggling without them. The large Debenhams store in nearby Portsmouth city centre has gone now as well :-)

Thanks for your nice comments and have a good weekend.

They have left a big hole in Salisbury and Weymouth as well Keith, and Denner's, later Beale's is a huge loss to Yeovil.
