Dale Grimshaw, famed for creating street murals with a fine-art approach, builds a special bond with Patrick, a personal trainer from south London.\n\nPatrick was photographed carrying an injured English Defence League member to safety during a Black Lives Matter demonstration in 2020 and was propelled into the media spotlight both here and around the world. This powerful image and act of kindness was hailed as a symbol of unity and humanity.\n\nArmed with spray cans and oil paint, Dale learns more about the man behind the headlines and aims to use his unique skill and vision to create a portrait that captures the real Patrick.
