The post you are reporting:
Maybe the view is that those who don't appreciate fly-poster size artistry, or what's in it, don't really appreciate art.
I think it's awful, I also think that as David said, if you can't see it/read it from the car-park opposite, it'll look like fly-posting and that £20,000 will have been truly wasted.
The kind of "public" artwork that I favour, is representations of our historic sites and attractions - the Castle - and views with the Castle grounds, views of and from the White Cliffs, Crabble Corn Mill, the Bronze Age Boat, Roman Painted House, Kearsney and Bushy Ruff, Samphire Hoe etc. and some of our notable buildings.
These would not only look better (to me), but also show the kind of wonderful sites we do have.
The £20,00 could have gone to a local company to pay for blown-up photos or paintings of the above - much better use of OUR money, to my mind that is.
