Crown decorating centre takes on artistic challenge

A UNIQUE city centre art project in collaboration with a Crown Decorating Centre has broken new ground with its innovative use of paints.

The Nuart project in Aberdeen has seen five stunning artworks created by internationally renowned street artists and brought to life with expert advice from the city’s Crown Decorating Centre. The giant paintings now bring an amazing splash of colour to buildings across the Granite City and have been created using Sandtex Trade High Cover Smooth paint to ensure not only an excellent quality finish but also colours which will stand the test of time.

Nuart Aberdeen features a total of eleven artists’ work and was brought to the city by business organisation Aberdeen Inspired and Aberdeen City Council, and was supported by main sponsor Burness Paull LLP. Adrian Watson, Chief Executive of Aberdeen Inspired, said: "The Nuart Aberdeen festival was a remarkable success and attracted thousands of people to see many colourful street art murals on walls around the city centre. "We were keen to source the highest quality paint for our internationally acclaimed artists and Aberdeen’s Crown Decorating Centre was the perfect fit for us".

Alan Paterson, manager at the Crown Decorating Centre in Clifton Road, Kittybrewster Shopping Centre, said:"The Sandtex Trade range has a wide variety of colours available, so the artists were able to take off-the-shelf colours and then if they wanted a particular shade, they were able to mix the paint themselves to create the exact colour they wanted".
