I'm not really sure what this is. I'm aware it's an image of a lady, possibly naked, with her arm behind her head. But I'm not sure if it's a painting. Maybe it's some kind of photo-silver-chemical solution on the wall? Maybe it's graf, which is what people call graffiti nowadays.
Either way, it's very cool.
I'm writing all this from my phone as an experiment. It might look shit.

I did something like this in a printmaking course. It does look very similar too. As I remember we took a photocopy of something covered it in some kind of oil and did a one-off print onto a canvas of some sort.
Got a new app for our phone did we Ben?

Looks like someone's painted the developer straight onto the wall...also looks a little like a polaroid transfer image. Was it indoors or outdoors? Nice!

I seem to remember at college doing this using a photocopy and soaking it with lighter fluid...

It was probably done with (paint) thinner. Works really well, especially with newspapers or b/w photos.
