Check out this 'fingers up’ victory piece of #Art to #Covid19UK #covid19
I had the great opportunity to get involved and support: Art for Charity, which is the combined brainchild of Paul Cadman, Professor of Entrepreneurship at Birmingham City University, and Nathaniel Hanna, co-founder of Melting Pot, Birmingham. This incredible and iconic piece of art was created by international graffiti artist Gent48 who worked through the tremendous heat to deliver a masterpiece, a flagship colossal eye-catcher to compete with the best in artistic flair around the world. Sitting in the garden of Norton’s Bar, Digbeth, owned by Patrick and mum, this really is a must see. This particular image is Birmingham's ‘Fingers Up’ to Covid-19 and shows our real superhero’s in this crisis, who are here always in everyday life, having a victory over the coronavirus. The message is simple, together we can beat this and together we will.
The goal is simple: to harness the creativity and skills of artists and creatives across #Birmingham to raise much-needed funds for the Lord Mayor’s Charity. In return, the artists receive royalties for everything they produce, with the most significant portion reserved for charitable endeavours. Crucially, the supported cause is, and will always remain, the Lord Mayor of Birmingham's Charity, ensuring that funds raised support other worthy efforts in the city. Work is underway right now to complete 3 walls with inspirational Art from GENT 48 (Josh Billingham).
Check out the video and photos of this masterpiece and the fun I had above the city streets while filming.
