ARTIST Adam Klodzinski is the latest to make his mark on the Pride in Bournemouth public art event.

Known as Soap, Adam was commissioned by Westbourne gallery Metropolis Art to paint Kamien, its life-size lion statue.

Kamien will be one of at least 50 large lion statues to be displayed across Bournemouth this summer.

“As soon as we learned what the project was about, we signed up,” said gallery co-owner Vicki Angus.

“Adam has captured the majesty of the beast beautifully.
