Phoenix: It's amazing how beautiful you can make a wall look with just a power hoseArtist Kevin McHugh has created a brilliant Halloween 'power hose mural' on a dirty old wall
This piece of artwork certainly takes a bit of skill.
Artist Kevin McHugh has created a brilliant Halloween 'power hose mural' on a dirty old wall in his native county.
As the video shows, working without a stencil, Kevin takes the dirt off the walls with a power hose - creating a terrific image with a Halloween twist.
The Fermanagh man told Belfast Live: "I like the challenge of creating art by taking something away rather than adding to it. By stripping back the dirt to reveal the light I feel like I'm bringing a little beauty or at least a touch of charm to a building that is otherwise largely ignored.
"That's not to say it didn't already have it's own character, I'm just bringing out another aspect of it, albeit it with a twist.
He added: "I guess I've always been a bit "Charlie Brown" and have a tendency to sympathise with the underdog, that's why I like to give these old buildings a new lease of life and their 15 minutes in the spotlight.
"As for the subject matter for this particular mural, it's just my lifelong love of Halloween coming to the fore.http://www.belfastlive.co.uk/whats-on/arts-culture-news/its-amazing-how-beautiful-you-10362678
