Artist creates a new Beatles portrait in Cavern Walks:

To celebrate Beatles Day on Friday 10th July, graffiti artist Andy Prior created a new portrait of the Fab Four in Cavern Walks on Mathew Street.

Starting at 9am, artist Andy Prior worked on the 6metre by 2metre canvas on the ground floor of Cavern Walks, between the two cafes Chantilly and Lucy in the Sky. People watched his progress throughout the day.

The artwork will be displayed in the centre for the next six months.

Artist Andy Prior’s work ranges from installations to graffiti and street art, which have included commissions. Pink Floyd fans might remember his portrait of Roger Waters at Liverpool’s Echo Arena as part of their 2008 concert. He also put his unique slant on a coffee machine in restaurant Piccolino’s as part of the 2004 Liverpool Biennial’s Art in Bars programme.
