‘UNTITLED LANDSCAPE’

By Chris Bird

“I did these in a recovery unit that does art therapy,” comments Chris, a prolific and long time contributor to Street Art, of his latest batch of artworks. “I suffer from mental health problems. My art is part of an attempt to survive and make a contribution. I believe in equality and diversity and hope.”
