ART MURAL OF JOHN IN BRISTOL

The portrait of John Lennon was painted at this year’s Upfest in July.

A street art mural of John Lennon painted on the Tobacco Factory in Southville, painted by Eduardo Kobra during Upfest 2017 in Bristol. The annual event, in the hometown of guerrilla artist Banksy, started in 2008 and is now Europe’s biggest street-art festival, attracting more than 350 artists from across the globe to live paint on walls and surfaces in 37 locations around Bedminster and Southville over three days. Some of the graffiti art work is painted on moveable boards and temporary hoardings, but murals on some venues and buildings remain all year until the next festival.
