Art mural du passage inférieur dans le passage inférieur de Midland Way, près de la gare routière de Warrington, par l'artiste Tim Twist & Youth zone Young People, Cheshire, Royaume-Uni, WA2 7NB
YOUNG people have joined forces with a local artist to transform an underpass in the centre of town. An underpass between Warrington's bus interchange and the Youth Zone, has had a much-needed makeover thanks to the artist Tim Twist and the youngsters. Tim helped mastermind the art project, alongside contributions from Warrington Youth Zone, and the youngsters who use the services there. The mural is designed to reflect key aspects of the town The mural includes a tribute to Viola Beach, with references to their single 'Swings and Waterslides.' The artwork shows off the skyline of Warrington, with buildings and sites such as Warrington Wireworks, the Transporter Bridge and the Halliwell Jones Stadium, with a Wolf rising from the ground. Central supporting columns of the underpass now reflect the cooling towers at Fiddlers Ferry, as well as the Neighbourhood Weekender festival, the Golden Gates and the iconic ‘Pink Eye’ building, which will be signed by Anthony Turk who created the original artwork on the building over 20 years ago. Cllr Tom Jennings, cabinet member for economic development and innovation, said: "The artwork has brought about a remarkable improvement to a well-used underpass. I thank Tim Twist and our young people for their talent and efforts over the past few weeks. “This project serves as a testament to the transformative power of art in enhancing our town centre and I'm sure it will instil a further sense of pride in our town's heritage and ownership of our continuing story to all that view it." Tom Jowett, head of youth work at Warrington Youth Zone, said: “Since identifying the site for the youth zone on Dallam Lane our young people identified, they would like to create some artwork on the underpass to make a more warm and welcoming approach to the youth zone and the town centre.
