I am delighted to present my collaboration with the esteemed artist Goldie for Street Stories in Wolverhampton. This project, situated at the heart of Wolverhampton city centre, aimed to invigorate the local high street with the vibrant works of regional artists.
For this endeavor, I had the privilege to combine Goldie's iconic graffiti style with my own portrait of the artist. The result is a striking fusion of two artistic visions, brought to life on a prominent mural in the city.
My intention with this piece was not only to celebrate Goldie's influence but also to pay homage to Wolverhampton's rich cultural heritage. By incorporating iconic figures from the city, the mural serves as a testament to the community's resilience and creativity.
Furthermore, the integration of augmented reality (AR) technology enhances the viewer's experience, adding an interactive dimension to the artwork. This innovative approach reflects my commitment to exploring new techniques and pushing the boundaries of digital art.
This piece of work is featured on BBC News Website and Express and Star.
