Looks like Bin Laden after a hair cut.

WTF?!
Bin Laden after a haircut with a chainsaw-look at all the scars ffs.

It needs covering up. Quickly.

It's not terrible. Poor artist is getting hammered - some of his other work is quite good as well!
You're right, it isn't terrible-it's f.ucking hideous.

It's not quite right, but I'm loathe to criticise something that I wouldn't ever have the skill to do. It must be pretty difficult to get a decent likeness of a person on a canvas that big.
To be fair, knowing you didn't have the skill required to paint a Muriel you simply wouldn't try. Not having the skill didn't prevent the 'artist' from defacing a building.

I hadn't seen this photo of Bruno before. Actually a pretty decent likeness.

Just a heads up to anyone who didn't see the press release, it isn't finalised, the design was half-finished, with the face needing amendments, so the scaffolding is back up and work is being done at the moment, the launch date is next week. You have to remember that it is a 7.5 metre piece and they can't see it with the sheet up, therefore the final design isn't complete yet.

If it wasn’t finished why take the scaffolding down in the first place or is it going back up as someone has looked at the finished piece and said come back and fix this monstrosity

Just been to take a look in person to see if it was just a poor angle of photo. Seems its being rectified...

Looking at the other things this artist, "Glimmer Twin", has done - its obvious he is simply not skilled enough for this task. Sure you could talk "the artist interpretation of Bruno" and whatnot to justify its oddities, but truth is... its just plain ugly.

No shit Sherlock!

Wonder why the plan was to paint it in a form that needed 'amendments' then take the scaffolding away? Hmmm...................

Nah I'm not having that. That face isn't blocked in, or roughly done just to check proportions. It's finished.

And now, the scaffolding is back up, it's been whitewashed and being redone.

It's fine, people make mistakes. But I'd be frankly amazed if that was all just part of the creative process....

Hmmmmm indeed. Went summat like this then:-

"I know. Let's paint a muriel of Bruno that looks absolutely nothing like Bruno then take the scaffolding away. Then when everybody sees it and says how totally crap it is, we can put the scaffolding back up and do it properly"

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...........................
