Hollywood legend Sophia Loren has been celebrated with a brand new mural in Southport!
Superb local artist Paul Curtis has created his newest artwork honouring one of the most remarkable women in movie history in time for International Women’s Day on the shutters of David H Myers Opticians on London Street in Southport town centre.
Sophia Loren has replaced the Audrey Hepburn artwork which has become beyond repair – and provides a new love interest for Hollywood star Steve McQueen on the adjacent shutter!
If you have your picture with Sophia Loren we’d love to see it in Stand Up For Southport!
Paul Curtis is a well-known artist who has created some stunning work throughout the UK. His art in Southport includes:
* Red Rum on the Promenade
* The Sand Lizard at Toad Hall
* Shrimpers and Red Rum at the Birkdale Train Station underpass
* Southport Flower Show mural at Victoria Park
* Sophia Loren and Steve McQueen at David H Myers Opticians
He is available for commissions for anyone who has a space that needs transforming!
2026 is a year of vibrant cultural events in Southport – it would be fantastic to see more street art appear in Southport as part of that.
