'Unearthed'

Vhil's mural was inspired by the story of Aberdonians who fought in the Spanish fascist regime in the 1930's. Vhil was fascinated by this story and delved deep in the history of these 19 men, 5 of which sadly died. The mural depicts two soldiers, American brigadier Peter Fyre on the right and John Londragan of Aberdeen. The story of these brave men and their bond with the Spanish is remarkable. This mural is helping to bring this story to life on the streets of Aberdeen to a new generation. Creating the mural required a lot of physical labour, craving by drilling into the wall to produce lots of detail.
