I recently found this piece from the French artist Rice, who’s been sprinkling portraits all over Barcelona. Many can be found in Gràcia, however this one was on a doorway in the old city centre. I saw my first piece by Rice back in January or February, a portrait of Freddie Mercury which has disappeared under several layers of posters. Last I checked, part of Freddie’s chest was still visible from under a peeling concert poster.
The portrait we see here is relatively recent and I think very well-placed. Perhaps if we travelled back to a Friday or Saturday evening in the 50’s and turned on our x-ray vision, we could see this young woman, putting on the final touches before opening the front door to go out and meet her friends.
Gorgeous piece!!!
Absolutely. And there are more and more by this artist every time I go out!
