I like the mixture that Phlegm has in his work, this one for example has both black and white with shading connected to powerful colours. It has been placed in what looks to be the public toilets... I don't know if that gives it any extra significance or not but I would find it odd to see this in the loo. His work seems completely random with no meaning, yet they are pretty and make you stop and think about whether there is a meaning to it.
Although passers by will fully know that the ground is indeed solid, having a whale half submerged may make them half wonder before remembering it is indeed just a painting that finishes at the ground. The proportions of the whale are out, but it's still obvious what it is meant to be so I don't think it really matters. It looks well placed under the bridge because bridges usually go over water and the whale is beneath the bridge where the water would be.
I like the way this piece makes the shutters look like a stage with the curtains. It leads me to imagine that these bird-like creatures are performing. They are done in so much detail that it seems silly for them to have their legs and feet drawn as such, unless another person draw them on, I don't know why there would be a reason for doing this other than a similar difference in the first picture where parts are black and white and the other is delicately shaded and coloured.
