ECHOES is a mural by Portuguese artist Add Fuel, painted on the two-storey gable end of a former pub in Mabgate, Leeds.
Taking inspiration from the renowned Burmantofts pottery and celebrating the area’s important ceramics heritage, ECHOES includes redesigned patterns from tiles that can be seen at some of Leeds’ most esteemed institutions – including Leeds Central Library, Leeds Town Hall, University of Leeds, and Leeds Grand Theatre. By combining traditional decorative elements with contemporary designs, Add Fuel, on closer inspection, reveals a detailed world of unique images and characters – brimming with unequivocally original motifs and characters with deep emotions.
“My intent is the creation of something truly unique but also truly familiar to the community. An echo of the past living vividly in the present.”
Add Fuel
ECHOES is is part of our A City Less Grey programme and was supported by LEEDS 2023 and Leeds City Council.
