A BARNSLEY artist’s latest work is causing quite the stir across the English Channel.
‘Sense of Belonging’ was created by Patrick Murphy and features 200 life-size seagull sculptures on the facade of the City Hall building in Le Havre, France.
Patrick said: “I feel very fortunate in having had the opportunity to work on this public art installation during a very challenging year for all of us.
“The City Hall in Le Havre provides a perfect location for this artwork.
“The city has so much art and design history, including being the setting and inspiration for Claude Monet’s famous 1872 painting Impression, Sunrise.
“The work is part of a continued evolution on a theme of home and shared space - something that all of us have had to consider during the pandemic.”
We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
