The Project

Commissioned to complete a 105m mural for the Paper Mill in Liverpool, Alex hand-painted a ‘Welcome Home’ message to prospective residents in Liverpool’s most sought after new development. He was approached in October with a brief to reflect the site’s rich history and the community. It is the biggest project he has worked on so far. “They said from day one they want it to be an artwork, not an advertisement. As an artist that’s what you love to hear,” Mr Lehours said. Armed with historical documents, he came up with a concept design in a couple of days. The mural features portraits of people from a range of cultures to highlight Liverpool’s diverse community.
