Keep exploring and you could see plenty of other pieces from local artists too. In 2021 the tunnels also became the primary location of ‘ Stuck Up Aberdeen‘ a dedicated celebration of paste up art supported by Flying Leaps. He created a mural which said ‘Shiny Happy People Laughing’. Painted in 2018 it was demolished along with the market in 2022įor the 2019 festival Ben Eine also painted here.

Sadly the mural disappeared along with the wider market demolition in 2022. It had depicted two fighting boys and was a reference to the relationship between England and Scotland. Murals of note in the area included a mural from Hyuro (2018) The Argentinian artist who painted high on the back wall of one of the buildings which overlooked and crossed the street. It was a place where plenty of Aberdeen’s more locally inspired street art and graffiti could be found. Now however much of this has gone with the redevelopment of the area.
