Worthing Artist Sutton Auckett Paints Modern Lido Murals

It was very nice to wake up this morning to find that I was in the Worthing Herald newspaper. Over the past few weeks I have been restoring and repainting old murals which sit to the left of The Worthing Lido Entertainment Centre.  Being a former employee for several years now, I have also done various other pieces of artwork which include painting the two sculptural flower pots either side at the top of the facility. Many hours have been spent trying to restore and brighten up the centre and therefore it was very nice to get some public recognition.

The Worthing Herald newspaper clipping mentioning my mural artwork.

I was also very delighted to hear that the murals had received positive feedback from Visit England.The organisation said:

"It is encouraging to learn that the attractive hand painted pieces were re-painted by a local artist. They are part of the history of the building and provide an unexpected delight to all those that see them."

It is my intention to continue repainting the outdated exterior murals at The Lido when I am back from university in the summer months.

More information and a video of the most recent mural can be seen on the Worthing Herald website link below.

The First mural I created was a contemporary painting of the Arms of the Borough of Worthing. The civic motto is 'Ex terra copiam e mari salutem'  translated to,  'From the land plenty and from the sea health'.

The second mural shows the Worthing International Birdman Event logo. The competition takes place every year  for human powered flying machines, seeing how far people can launch themselves off the Worthing Pier.

The third mural I painted  is a present day interpretation of what is inside The Lido Entertainment Centre. The most recent kids rides are displayed as well as some of The Lido's most regular customers.
