Meet the Artists…
Paul Curtis – College Lane
Paul Curtis is an independant artist from Liverpool, best known for his street art and murals which an mainly be found all around Merseyside but also across the UK. His work came to public attention in 2017 with his very first piece of street art , “For all Liverpool’s Liver Birds.” Since then, he has created more than 250 public pieces.
Inspiration:
Paul was commissioned by Liverpool ONE to create a piece of art to cover a large unit on College Lane. This artwork re-imagines the building as a huge water tank, complete with a giant octopus lurking on the sea floor. As people go about their shopping at Liverpool ONE, he watches over them with his beady eye!
Head to College Lane to check out this eye-catching piece for yourself!

Candy Sinclair-Ford – School Lane
Candy Sinclair-Ford is a Liverpool-born graphic designer and visual artist who creates joyful, expressive work across print and digital. Her vibrant style blends graphic design, illustration, and modern lettering, using bold shapes, bright colours, and hand-drawn typography. Driven by a love for creating, Candy aims to spread happiness through her art – hoping each piece brings a smile to those who see it.
Inspiration:
All You Need Is Love was born of a desire to bring bright, happy energy to this corner of Liverpool ONE. Art can transform any space and take it from ordinary to extraordinary. An injection of massive rainbows and blooming flower bouquets is the perfect way to liven up School Lane for summer and bring a little sparkle to the street.
The piece is lively and fun and encourages interaction. If you love the piece as much as we do, please feel free to snap a selfie in the mirrors, enjoy your chosen positive affirmation, and share with us @liverpool_oneofficial.

Previous Artist Collaborations
Eurovision Song Contest
To celebrate Liverpool hosting Eurovision in 2023, we teamed up with local artists to create bold, joyful installations across Liverpool ONE — each one capturing the spirit of unity, music, and creativity.
From vibrant murals and striking welcome signs to interactive installations and selfie spots, each piece was designed to capture the energy, diversity and joy of the event — turning the streets into a celebration of art, music and community.
