The winner of the artrepublic Street Art competition is Brighton based artist Grant DeJonge.

Preparations have begun to transform a 2 storey-wall into an original work of art. The wall kindly donated by myhotels has been prepped, and the winning image will serve as a reminder of the UK homeless situation when it is unveiled on Brighton\'s Jubilee Street on Friday 5th February.

The next location is in Covent Garden, London where the image will be painstakingly reproduced onto a 4-storey building.

The image will be sold as a limited edition print through the artrepublic galleries in Brighton and London and online at hhtp://www.artrepublic.com with all proceeds going to StreetSmart.

Lawrence Alkin, CEO artrepublic has also agreed to donate £1 from every single transaction taken during the months of January, February and March 2010 to StreetSmart.

DeJonge comments: \"I am delighted to win this competition and look forward to working with artrepublic. I hope my image serves as a reminder of the homeless situation and that it helps to highlight the excellent work that charities like StreetSmart are doing\".
