University of Essex - Freshers enjoy artistic welcome

Artist Henrik Schrat has welcomed new students to the University of Essex's Colchester site by painting a series of murals around the campus. The silhouette images form part of Schrat's exhibition, Death by Text, the first art show of the academic year to be held in the university gallery. Mr Schrat is taking a PhD at Essex's business school and he completed the paintings on 2 October, just in time for freshers' week.
