Because of the shadowing and colour used, it inspires emotion and compels one to stop and look at the painting. I think in this work it gives a message about poverty and the true sadness of it.

Shape is also used to show finer details, for example it shows what way the sun is shining, by defining areas of the work, and he also shows dimension by showing that although his hand appears to be on top of the clothing it is isn’t affected by the shadowing showing that it is extended out. In this art work the artist conveys the look of standing in a back alleyway using the shadowing technique and ultimately he uses shape to shadow it using the different lines and shapes, it also gives an illusion of texture, for example, because of the way he has painted his pants it appears to have a crinkles in it and thus showing that the pants are not of a high quality. In this artwork, he uses the shadowy effect to give off a creepier look to the beggar but with the white background it cancels it out. Everywhere except his shoes and hand are shadowed, as if he was standing in an alley away from light, down the bottom in becomes yellow near the shoes and to the bottom, followed by Blek's signature, This artwork was part of a 'Beggar' movement in which Blek painted many depictions of homeless people. In this work it is heavily shadowed over his head and along the main parts of his body. he is wearing shorts and some shoes with a hoodie. This is a printing of what appears to be a man holding out his hand.
