Then and Now.
Robert Lenkiewicz 1941-2002 was one of Plymouth favourite artists.He moved here in the 1960s when he was offered a large studio space on the Barbican, where he lived a colourful, bohemian lifestyle.
He painted this mural on the large gable end of the building adjoining his studio in 1971, (click on the images to take a closer look). The salt, sea air has taken its toll over the years, particularly since his death, and it will shortly disappear for ever.
Take a look at a Gallery of his work here.
