The artwork also honours community heroes
Musician Ozzy Osbourne, late poet Benjamin Zephaniah and an 11-year-old fundraising hero are among those honoured in a new mural unveiled today at Birmingham airport. It was created by local street artist Gent 48, aka Josh Billingham.
Football coach Asha Rage has also been honoured in the mural. The local woman has harnessed the sport to keep young people away from gang violence. Asha and Ryan were presented with a package holiday of their choice from Birmingham by easyJet Holidays, in recognition of the work they do in the community.
Gent 48 spent 120 hours creating the piece, which measures 2.4 metres tall and 4.8 metres wide, occupying 62 square feet of the airport terminal. European landmarks that easyJet will connect Birmingham to including La Sagrada Familia in Barcelona and the Eiffel Tower in Paris also feature. Johan Lundgren, easyJet CEO said: "It has been a fantastic opportunity to work with Gent 48 to mark our new home in Birmingham, celebrating all that is unique and iconic in the city and bringing to life what is special about the area and those who live here.
