Street Art - Askew

We have been in Newcastle all day today as David had a medical appointment.

This photo is one of the street art exhibits from the Hit the Bricks festival last year. It has been painted by street artist Askew who is New Zealand born with over 20 years experience. He is recognised worldwide for his unique approach to graffiti art and remains at the forefront of the international art scene through constantly exploring new, exciting styles. Askew is self-taught in graphic design, illustration, photography, publishing, directing and
editing moving images.

I like that you've included some of the surroundings as well to give it some context.

Great shot of this bright artwork. Some people are very clever! That must be really hard to paint something so big, and get it right!

I have never heard of Askew in NZ, I assume like many artists, they shine overseas.

[Babs]

@beachdog I am amazed too. I did a month of street art photos in my topics album in January this year and January last year too I think and a lot of those were from the Hit the Bricks festivals. some of the artworks are done with the artist standing in a cherry picker.

[Babs]

@kwind I love street art so look forward to seeing yours from Rome.

[Babs]

@yaorenliu He comes from Auckland I believe and has had exhibitions there. He goes under the name of Askew One sometimes too.

[Babs]

@eyesmile It is Gena. Newcastle is so lucky to have so many works of art on its walls. There are a couple of exhibitions each year there and this one was part of the Hit the Bricks festival.

[Linda]

Wonderful capture of this unique street artist's work. He is one of a kind.

[Rachel]

Amazing art. I wish they would come to Brisbane and liven the place up.

[Taffy]

It's really a striking image -- especially with the context of being on the side of a hotel. What an intriguing work of street art! You should tag it for street-5 theme.

[Poppo Livy]

Nice piece of art.
