Hospitals Sussex for this unique project.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  The mural is being created around the multi-million pound cancer centre, which is currently being built on Eastern Road, Brighton.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  The work is due to be unveiled this autumn.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  <img   style=\"width: 100%;\"\/>A mural of stars including John Lennon and Amy Winehouse on the side of the former GAK music shop in North Laine by The Postman (Image: THE POSTMAN) The Postman said: &#8220;This commission is one of our most exciting and ambitious projects to date.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  &#8220;We\u2019re creating our largest mural ever\u2014over 50 individual panels spanning approximately 60 metres of original, large-scale artwork.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  &#8220;It\u2019s an honour to contribute to such a forward-thinking initiative.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  &#8220;As Brighton develops its New Sussex Cancer Centre (NSCC) as part of the Royal Sussex Hospital, there\u2019s a clear focus on creating not just a cutting-edge medical facility, but a healing environment\u2014filled with light, colour, and creativity.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  &#8220;This project presents an exciting creative shift for us\u2014moving away from our usual icon-based work to a nature-inspired theme we\u2019ve been gradually exploring over the past few years.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  &#8220;We believe art has the power to positively impact mental wellbeing, and by focusing on colour, joy, and emotional connection, we hope this mural brings a moment of uplift and positivity to everyone who passes by.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  The mural will be sold off, piece by piece, to raise funds for the charity.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  Limited edition prints and merchandise will also be sold.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  Steve Crump OBE, director of charities and voluntary services at My Charity, University Hospitals Sussex, NHS Foundation Trust, said: &#8220;At My Charity we&#8217;re delighted to be working with The Postman on this once in a lifetime venture that will see their iconic art used to both transform space and raise vital funds for University Hospitals Sussex.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  The New NHS Sussex Cancer Centre is set to open in 2029 and will be almost five times larger than the current facility.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  The unveiling of The Postman&#8217;s mural this autumn is expected to be a monumental event for Brighton and the wider healthcare community in Sussex.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  The Postman has adorned urban spaces worldwide with their pop art murals since their inception in 2018.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  They have created public artworks for councils, and commissions for notable figures such as Noel Gallagher and the Bob Marley Foundation.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  Their work has been showcased in galleries across the globe, including the Saatchi Gallery in London.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  The duo are remaining busy over the summer period.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  From August 27 to 31, they will be taking over Brighton\u2019s most exciting new venue\u2014The British Engineerium\u2014for a large-scale art show presented by Pepita Coffee and Fatboy Slim.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  The exhibition will showcase an exclusive collection of new works and celebrate the launch of a brand-new range of coffee tins designed by The Postman.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The anonymous duo, known for their striking pop art murals, have joined forces
