Levenshulme Station Mural

​Spray paint mural — Levenshulme, Manchester -- 2018

---

Large-scale public artwork designed for speed, distance and proximity.
​
I was invited to create a spray-paint mural for Levenshulme railway station, responding to the unique conditions of the site. The brief I set myself was to produce a work that could operate across multiple speeds and viewpoints.

The mural was designed to be vibrant and high-contrast, ensuring it could be clearly read from fast-moving inter-city trains passing through the station. At the same time, the composition needed to hold visual interest when viewed from Levenshulme Market and the car park below, as well as rewarding closer attention from pedestrians moving past the wall.

Using scale, colour and repetition, the work balances immediate impact with surface detail, allowing it to shift depending on how it is encountered. The mural functions as both a landmark and a moment of visual interruption within an everyday transport environment, embedding artwork directly into the rhythm of daily movement.
