Last Chance to See the Mural Artist at Work

by ROOFTOP Arts Centre | Mar 28, 2025 | Announcement

Local artist Gary Carroll will be putting the final touches on the large outdoor mural he has been painting over the last few weeks on the side of the Rooftop Arts building. The final details and colouring highlights will be added over the next few days to complete the work. It has taken shape really well and has attracted a lot of attention and positive comments.

Numerous people have stopped by to admire the work and Gary, being well known in Corby, has met some old friends he has not seen in a while and renewed these friendships.

Dinah Kazakoff, the Rooftop Arts Gallery Director commented, “art has a way of bringing the community together and Gary’s work is a good example of that, the mural speaks to Corby’s industrial past and has also attracted the attention and admiration of the town’s youth as well”.

At 8ft x 10ft this is one of the largest paintings the artist has done and his work has attracted 3 potential commissions from local business owners who would like to discuss similar size works at their businesses.

If you would like to see the final stages of his work, Gary will be outside completing his painting during the Rooftop Arts open hours from 11am to 4pm.

The New Mural is Taking Shape

Gary Carroll, the artist behind the new Mural being created on the side of the Rooftop Arts Centre, is starting to add colour to the artwork. The mono tones of the base layer of the mural have started to come alive with the addition of some colour aspects. This is a major work of art that Gary has been working on for over a week now, and he has started to add colour onto the piece to bring it to life.

He estimates it will take about another week to complete the work, and each day the changes becomes more and more noticeable. He has had a great deal of visitors stopping by to admire his work in progress. Between this and his regular work as a Tattoo Artist, weather permitting, he will be out every day next week to put the finishing touches on the art work.

Please feel free to stop by and say hello.
