Great pics cheers, Germany it seems has a great graffiti scene. Would of loved to of seen your interpretation of pikey vampires

Sweet wheels too!!

[Replete]

One of the bridges is based on the Theodore Heuss bridge that crosses the Rhine near wiesbaden and the wall we were painting was right next to the end of the bridge.

The other bridge came about through a random series of events as part of it was the letters of one of the writers who dissapeared after the first day leaving us to fit it in some how.

Sune than came up with the idea of turning the letters into a bridge and painted it entirely from his weird and wonky imagination.

But I have to say it does look like the warsaw bridge in berlin but it's purely coincidental.

What a mission this one was. Cool pics, i look like i'm about to ovulate against the scaffolding, and that one of your hands tickling the wall in a seductive manor. Graffiti four play indeedie.

LAAAARGE!

[fuzzed]

Awesome piece Replete, great stuff!!

[loucastel]

Fantastic stuff, some imagination you guys must have, to be able to all work together and come up with such a powerfull wall.

[Replete]

Just finished this an hour ago in Leeds.

It's entitled Caught Between The Luminance Of A Lamp And The La and is based on this canvas of the same name:

Hope you enjoy looking at it as much as I enjoyed painting it ;D

[manchestermike]

Sweet as always mate... very nice indeed ;D

[deckstar]

looks great! good work

[Replete]

Cheers guys glad yer liking it. I really had an epic struggle painting it as it's just so complex a piece to get your head round painting it in spraypaint on a large scale. Just look at the sketch and that was the easy part!



I kept adding and changing things all the time thus complicating the process all the time. Plus the british summer weather of gusting winds and intermittent rain didnt help matters much.

[loucastel]

Another fantastic piece replete, where the hell do you start? the face on there looks superb, have you ever done serious portrait work?(not that all your work isnt serious) by that I mean just head and shoulders as it is.

[Heavyconsumer]

Yup, another stunning piece mate! Congratulations! I wish I had a wall in the UK for you to attack!

Just checked your site and notice you've added quite a few walls to the page too. Beautiful work! repletes.net/walls.htm

[Guest]

[retardthebear]

bl00dy hell just followed the link (http://repletes.net/walls.htm )
impressive stuff!!!! very nice indeed!

[craigf]

Absolutely amazing piece of work ;D I would love to see a time lag video of a piece like this being done just to get an understanding of how its put together

[Replete]

Ta fellas and for those who wish to see it in it's painted flesh it's at the Leeds graf hall of fame located at Rosebank Road in the Hyde Park area of Leeds near the university and the Yorkshire TV studios.

And I have some more progress photos which show some of the process of painting it which I'll upload later.

Cheers,

Nice canvas too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Daniel Silk]

Brilliant stuff Replete! ;D

How long do you think it has taken for you to do that piece? looks a lot of work

[Karl Read]

WOW! That is stunning! Really quite impresive! Was this done for somone, or company, or did you just find a spot and paint?

[jynormous]

AMAZING

[Harveyn]

Stunning work replete. As asked above how long did that piece take?

Have to agree with you Top.

Repletes work always amazes me

Superb................

[Agent Provocateur]

Stunning. Amazing piece!

[Replete]

Nice to see that it's been appreciated on here as it was quite an undertaking to paint it as in answer to silky and harveyn question it took around 24 hours spread over 3 days but some of that time was taken up by me changing my mind on colour combinations and trying out new experimental techniques I hadn't used before.

Plus I spent hours just chatting with passers by including local residents, police, dealers, junkies, students, school kids, youth gang members, local business owners, van drivers, council workers, office workers, other graf writers and some of my friends who came to visit me.

Now this ties in with what Banksee asked and in answer to that I painted it at my own expense for myself in my own time rather than as a paid commission. There's nothing I'd rather do in life than paint graffiti outside as there's nothing that comes close to the satisfaction I get from painting a piece or production and standing back at the end and know all the effort was worth it.

I paint canvases and commissions to fund my graffiti and I do love painting the canvases but nothing beats being outdoors with a can in your hand and a bag full of paint to play with. And if you've got your friends and other graf writers around you to paint a production together that's one of the best things on this planet to me.

Also the universal positive feedback from all the passers by who come and talk to me whilst I'm painting is another big motivator in what I do.

So if you ever happen across me whilst I'm throwing paint around come and say hi:1

Your passion for what you do is very evident in the end product. But why in god's name do you live in a city where it rains 300+ days in the year? ;D
