Cult of St Enoch

Description

A refreshed take on a much loved earlier mural, Smug reimagines the story of St Enoch (also known as St Thenue, mother of Glasgow’s patron saint, St Mungo) through exquisitely detailed portraiture. Inspired by the reinterpretative narrative of Rebecca Sharp’s poetry play ‘Maiden Mother Mage’, the artist turns his focus to St Enoch’s later years in Glasgow. Her bold expression meets the viewer with a sense of courageous resilience in the face of unspoken adversity. A distinctive palette of greens and purples lends the work a contemplative, almost ethereal quality while anchoring the figure in her medieval origins. The framing of foxgloves—“fairy bells” or “witch’s thimbles”—adds an additional layer of myth and lore befitting the mural’s title.

Hunter

Tiny Tim
Started out hunting the streets in Antwerp, and completely bitten by the 'street art' virus. And the only cure is: HUNT SOME MORE. I love showing people all the amazing Belgian artists, run street art tours in my city and occasionally facilitate new mural projects. I love to travel and meet other hunters and artists. So hit me up when you're in town.
