A virus is taking over Langport. Lampposts all over the town are appearing as if they have been coloured by a drunken guerrilla painter trying to ‘brighten’ the place up. It doesn’t work. Bad painting, poor choice of colours and a seeming disregard for what is painted makes this a naive and ill considered attempt to make any serious difference to how public space could be improved.
This said, there is obviously a real desire to use ‘art’ to make a difference to the look and feel of Langport, which I am whole heartedly behind.
I have found out whom the ‘guerrilla’ is, don’t ask, I am sworn to secrecy. I have offered some guerrilla training so that any future interventions would be more considerate, less vandalism.
