Putting ‘face’ into face brick, this masterpiece is nothing short of magnificent. The sheer talent of Julie Miles, an accomplished artist from the UK who created such a work of art is truly commendable. Her expertise is in large scale brick work. The Man in the wall (which she’s named this piece of art) was commissioned by the Wetherspoons for their new pub and family restaurant located in the town Centre. The attention to detail is astounding and the transformation of the brick into a life like face is something that can be admired for years to come.

It’s just an illusion or is it?

These works of art just reinforce how versatile face brick can be – if in the right hands.
