My good Youtube friend Chris from over in Bempton Bridlington knows I am interested in street art murals. so he sent me over these two local examples from Bridlington.
These superb murals were painted by Yorkshire Harrogate artist Sam Porter of Mural Minded. Both murals took Sam around four week's to complete.
Each mural highlights key aspects of Bridlington's historical heritage. They were commissioned by East Yorkshire Council as part of a £125,000 scheme for Bridlington.
The first mural piece Chris filmed is in Bridlington Old Town and is painted on the gable end of a shop in High Street. It depicts the Gansey girl, representing fisherman's wives from year's gone by, and it cleverly includes Priory Church in the background. Also painted is a Swallow and a Jackdaw.
The second mural is in Prince Street on the North Harbour and shows a ship caught in the Great Gale of 1871. Alongside are Gannets, a Puffin, and a lobster, symbolic of Bridlingtons important fishing industry.
Chris states, 'Both these pieces of artwork are beautifully done. They are a fine example of Street Art at it's best.'
I very much agree! These works by Sam Porter are of a very high standard indeed and the speak of local history.
This is my kind of street art!
Many thanks for sending me these Chris.
