British artist David Downes has been commissioned by ITV to create a large-scale public mural in Bournemouth ahead of the launch of their 2019 drama Sanditon in August 2019. Painting publicly for 5 days, Downes will recreate an illustrated version of the poster artwork for Sanditon, on a giant billboard in the UK’s coastal town, to reflect the seaside location of the drama. The installation will remain in situ for three weeks after its completion. David Downes is a landscape painter who amplifies the sense of place and time through the lens of autism.

Downes will create a 12-metre wide painting of the fictional coastal town of Sanditon over a period of 5 days at the end of August. Using a combination of acrylic paints and ink, David will work at great speed using brushes and rollers to cover the canvas, harnessed to a small crane for safety.
