We worked with some wonderful artists throughout 2023 to bring large-scale mural pieces to various locations across Leeds, as part of LEEDS 2023.
We’ve been catching up with the artists, in a new series that looks at working with communities, sustainability, and their working process in creating public art.
In the third instalment, Add Fuel talks about his practice as an international artist, working at large scale and the development of ECHOES. 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.
