" Throughout Barron Taylor Street, a much used but neglected alley of access parallel to the city’s High Street, a series of works by urban artists have injected new life into the surroundings. The element of discovery in these pieces leads the viewer into previously unseen corners and presents a more urban conception of life in the Highland capital. The tribal aspect of these works is global in scope and distinctly youth orientated – an exciting addition to the more formal elements of the Streetscaping project.
Edgy and contemporary, the human portrait elements in this collection of works makes them instantly accessible while the more stylised human/animal hybrid figures and elements of Native American dress take on a more totemic or clannish meaning. The graffiti is simultaneously an expression of alternative counter culture and of the need to belong." GEORGINA COBURN evaluates the Re-Imagining The Centre public art event in Inverness
