New Murals Bring Colour to Bodmin

When Experience Bodmin began, residents told us they wanted to see more colour and creativity brought into the town centre. In response, we worked closely with talented artists, local landlords, Cornwall Council and Bodmin Town Council to deliver mural artworks that everyone can enjoy.

We’re delighted to mark the completion of the first stage of an exciting new public art programme in Bodmin, with three large‑scale murals now unveiled across the town. Drawing on Bodmin’s heritage and creative energy, the artworks celebrate local identity while adding colour, character and a renewed sense of place to key locations.

Together, the murals create new visual landmarks, transforming everyday spaces into engaging points of interest for residents and visitors alike.

At Dennison Road Car Park (Stillmoor Surgery), Cornwall‑based street artist Koe One has created a striking, photo‑realistic mural depicting wildlife found across Cornwall. Rich in detail and atmosphere, the artwork reflects the natural environment that surrounds Bodmin while adding a vibrant splash of colour to the space.

On Crockwell Street, at the Cornwall Hospice building, artist Claire Prouvost has delivered a bold, cubist‑inspired mural that references the site’s Art Deco cinema heritage. The dynamic design brings contemporary energy to the street while honouring the building’s cultural history and its place within the town.

Meanwhile, on Honey Street, artist Jack Tierney has drawn inspiration from historic photographs in the George Ellis collection at Kresen Kernow, blending Bodmin’s past with a modern, graphic style. The mural offers a visual link between generations, celebrating everyday life and shared memory through a contemporary lens.

As the murals appear throughout the town, they invite people to pause, look again and experience familiar streets in a new way. The artworks form part of a wider creative programme using public art to enrich Bodmin’s streetscape and strengthen its sense of place.

This work was made possible thanks to Cornwall Council’s Town Centre Revitalisation Fund.

Look out for the artworks as you explore the town over the coming weeks — and watch this space for what’s still to come.
