A park in the centre of Leeds has received a transformative new mural by an internationally recognised artist to uplift the heart of the city.
The unveiled mural in Penny Pocket Park, located right next to Leeds Minster, is part of a longer-term project to repurpose the park and make it a more welcoming for people who live, work in, or visit the area.
Designed and painted by Yorkshire-born multidisciplinary artist Cbloxx, also known as Jay Gilleard, the impressive mural reimagines a place of everyday transit as a space shaped by memory and mythology.
Located on Church Walk, in the viaduct under the railway tracks, the piece incorporates two giant owls flying overhead, underwater scenes and a carved face emerging from a rock wall.
