'PEOPLE FLYING FROM THE SEA' IN NEW CLEETHORPES PROM ARTWORK

This impressive piece of shutters art is the work of Grimsby's  Annabel McCourt

THIS is the latest example of shop roller shutters art on Cleethorpes' North Promenade.

It is the work of Annabel McCourt,who was born and brought up in Grimsby, and can be seen when the shutters are down at Scoops ice cream parlour.

Says Annabel: “Cleethorpes is an incredibly important place to me, and is has been wonderful to have the opportunity to do something that is local and very different.” 

With a diverse career in the cultural and arts sector, Annabel has worked with various organisations, including the BBC, and she is also a broadcaster and photographer. 

She has her own company, Cut Ltd, which is based in Barton-on-Humber.

The images on the shutters  show groups of people flying from the sea.

Scoops’ business owner Doraan Manders and her sister Keely Sheeran, who operates The Chippy, next door, are delighted.

“The North Prom needs this,"says Keely. "It's wonderful to get this fantastic artwork."

Also, now installed for people to view, is the complete artwork that stretches across Walkers Total Fitness and Reemas beauty salon

Masterminded by North East Lincolnshire-based Creative Start, with the help of artist Kevin Atkins, the piece follows the theme of the outstretched arms that are seen on the Sistine Chapel Ceiling.

More artwork will be in place on shutters in the coming weeks.

Inspired by the ceiling in Rome's Sistine Chapel - but what does it mean?
