Graffiti artist Mohammed Ali started work on this mural in the car park of Aldi on the Stratford Road, Sparkhill today and will be back down there at about 12pm tomorrow to finish it off.
This is a message for all the traffic that mounts along this busy road, as well as all the buses. Not very artistic, but rather a big bold message for everyone to ponder on….
Ali also goes under the Aerosolarabic name and fuses graffiti art with Islamic calligraphy. He’s worked throughout the UK and abroad, with trips to Montreal and Melbourne booked later this year. He also blogs here (where the above image is taken from).

so whats the connection with aldi? are they donating food to the poor, or distributing food that is beyond sell by date? are they involved in any community-based activity? the brothers that own aldi are among germanys richest people, it’d be pretty cynical for them to comission this and not act upon the message…
anyway just wondering.
i think more to do that it’s in a prime location for traffic and passers by to view dude.
wouldn’t be so poignant under an underpass now would it.
keep up the good work ali and of course cib
