Street artist Ricky Also paints huge seaside-inspired mural on a brutalist car park in Worthing

ECE Architecture and Creative Forager have joined forces with acclaimed street artist, Ricky Also, to produce a giant typographic, super-graphic mural on a brutalist car park in Worthing.

Written By:
Brightly coloured brutalist car park in Worthing painted with pink, yellow, cyan and white geometric typography spelling "Right Now" inspired by seaside deckchairs and ice-cream iconography

The reimagined building has been, spray-painted in bright colours and candy stripes inspired by seafront iconography such as deckchairs, inflatables and ice-creams. On closer inspection, it spells out the phrase Right Now, which represents the creative regeneration that's occurring in the area (and is also an anagram of Worthing).

Ricky got through 600 cans of spray paint and took seven days to paint the building – believed to be the largest mural in the UK.
