Cold Tenderness

The Cold Tenderness mural was part of New Brighton’s latest regeneration project, simply called New Brighton Street Art.

 Snik ‘Cold Tenderness’ – Waterloo Road

Further down Waterloo Road the first of two planned murals in New Brighton. Snik are a street art duo known for their giant hand cut stencils. Their work is delicate and full of detail. Easily they rank amongst the best stencil artists in the world. On the big walls they tend to combine this with more free hand detail. Looking over an access yard just off Waterloo Road it shows the mirror image of a woman looking out over it.

Go and Retrieve that Horizon

Art by Alexander ‘The Black Pearl’ – Hope Street

The Black Pearl was an interactive artwork which once sat on the shores of the Mersey. Created by Frank Lund and Major Mace in 2013. It has been maintained since by a small group of volunteers who had helped rebuild it after storms and even after an arson attack. Eventually the Black Pearl succumbed to a storm and was broken up by the waves of the Mersey in March 2020. The name was inspired by the pirate ship which featured in Pirate of the Caribbean. Painted by ‘Art by Alexander’ this is the fourth mural created by the artist painted in the town. The phase at the top of the artwork says ‘Go and Retrieve that Horizon’. It was taken from a personal message sent by Johnny Depp to the artist Frank Lund after hearing that the artwork had been damaged.

Fanakapan – Virginia Road

Fanakapan’s mural on Virginia Road says ‘I heart NB’ or ‘I Love New Brighton’. It consists of four different foil balloons of three silver letters and one red heart. The heart balloon reflects across the other three giving an illusion of 3D. This type of mural is something that Fanakapan had been perfecting for years and his foil balloons look like they are lifting off the wall and about to fly away.
