Hannibal Lecter

Dr Hannibal Lecter, as immortalised by local boy Sir Anthony Hopkins, as immortalised in spray paint by 'Walls By Paul'.

Actor, director, artist and piano virtuoso, Anthony Hopkins was born in 1937, about half a mile away in Margam. Known for his intense and charismatic performances on stage and screen - Hopkins is a true living legend.

ARTwalk Port Talbot didn't know anything about this mural till it appeared in May 2022, street artist 'Walls by Paul' says ...

"I'm a Caerphilly based artist, I was approached by the wall owner to do the Hopkins mural, I didn't hesitate as I knew about all the amazing artwork happening in PT and it was a great chance to be involved. It's all spraypaint which is my main medium and its a hyper saturated version of the famous movie still image."

Walking up the lane is a bit like approaching Hannibal Lecter's cell - just like Agent Starling in the stunning thriller 'Silence of The Lambs' ...
