A new, eye-catching work of art, inspired by Dippy the Dinosaur’s stay in Coventry, is set to go on display in the city.
Dippy the Dinosaur has captured the imagination of thousands of Coventry residents in the first six months of its three-year stay on loan from the Natural History Museum.
And now, an acclaimed illustrator and street artist has paid tribute to its popularity with an original work that reimagines the city’s skyline in the form of a mighty prehistoric creature.
Bristol-based artist Andy Council has been painting three of the walls at the Herbert Art Gallery and Museum, spending upwards of 50 hours adorning them with a seven metre wide spray-paint rendering of Coventry city centre, spread across the shape of a diplodocus.
