Check out the latest image of artist Ben Johnson's 'Liverpool Cityscape' - an enormous painting of the city which has taken the artist and his team 24 000 hours so far. The painting is currently at Johnson's London studio, but it will be moving to the Walker Art Gallery, where he will be artist-in-residence from 28th January until 7th March, enabling local people to see the techniques used on the painting in action.
The cityscape will then form part of a major exhibition at the Walker, 'Ben Johnson’s Liverpool Cityscape 2008 and the World Panorama Series', which will also feature paintings of Jerusalem, Zurich and Hong Kong amongst others. Its eventual home will be the new Museum of Liverpool.
Seldom has Liverpool looked so pretty ... and clean! ;)
