Daisy Chain Inc director Adam Turkington believes aesthetics, beauty and art are important in cities.
“These boxes are utilitarian, they have a purpose, they are junctions between things that make the city work.
“But before we paint them, they’re also a bit ugly and boring and they’re just in our way a lot of the time.
“I find it very hard to get past the idea that every box we make look better makes people’s lives a little bit better.”

For artists, Adam said that one of the “beautiful” things about Belfast Canvas is the fact that there is no brief.
“It’s called Canvas because it’s a canvas for the artist to express their artwork and represent themselves.”
