Artist Cbloxx has produced a stunning mural for Nuart Aberdeen – created after they took a deep dive into the Pictish past of the north-east.
The inspiring work on the side of the old John Lewis building is something the Yorkshire creative hopes will resonate with the people of Aberdeen – describing it as their gift to the Granite City.
Here, Cbloxx tells us more about the inspiration behind the mural and their aspirations for it.
Cbloxx is one of 11 internationally-acclaimed artists who have transformed walls and public spaces across the city for the Nuart Aberdeen festival weekend, running from Thursday, 6th June, to Sunday, 9th June.
