A NEW portrait of Birkenhead-born war poet Wilfred Owen is being placed on display at Liverpool Cathedral today.
Created by Anthony and Lorraine Brown, it is the first piece in a major new art project dedicated to soldiers through time and the impact of war on society. It features a background of images of memorabilia, photographs and, poignantly, Owen’s own hand written poems and letters.
Anthony Brown says: “This exhibition is dedicated to and in tribute of our armed forces and the courageous, self less sacrifice that shrouds them, aiming to inspire all senses as it involves the viewer in its thread, from childhood to veteran, from action to reaction, from home to the world and back again.”
The portrait will be on display until November 27.
