Tim Jentsch met Cosmo Sarson to find out more about his recent mural in Brighton… British artist Cosmo Sarson most notably gained international press in 2013 with his giant 28ft high mural of ‘Breakdancing Jesus’ painted opposite Banksy’s iconic  ‘Mild,Mild West’ in Bristol.

An earlier painting on the same theme, of Jesus breakdancing in front of an applauding audience of cardinals went viral a year earlier with demand crashing his website and still remains a popular internet meme to this day.

Angel of Hope

In January of this year Cosmo Sarson painted a large scale mural on the side of a 3 storey building in the center of Brighton, UK.

Known as the ‘Angel of Brighton’, the mural has quickly become a much loved local landmark.

Painted in memory of his late father whom the artist lost last year, and intended to act as a beacon of hope to those who have also endured difficult times, the mural offers a promise of good things to come.
