23 pictures of breath-taking new street artwork created in the city as LookUp festival gets underway

More than 100 new artworks are being created on walls across the city with international headline artists Gijs VanHee, Satr, Temponok, Frau Isa, Ansley Randall and Jimmer Willmott among the huge roster of talent for the event.

Festival hotspots this year include:

• The side of the old casino on Osborne Road, which will host this year’s largest mural
• Park Road, where 10 artists will be painting
• The Somers Orchard hoardings, featuring 32 artists
• Hilsea Lido Café, with six new murals

It follows last weekend’s Paint Jam launch event where 14 local artists transformed hoardings in Cosham, as well workshops at Portsdown Primary School. Earlier in the week some of the artists made a start on their creations with a view to putting the finishes touches in place this weekend.
