Born in Barcelona in 1955, the Catalan artist Jaume Plensa, who has been chosen by the local community for the Big Art Project at the St.Helens site, has an international reputation for major public art projects. His outdoor work can be seen in locations including the US, Canada, France, Japan, Germany, Switzerland, Italy, Korea and the UK, as well as in his home country.

Plensa is perhaps best known for Crown Fountain, a monumental and very popular public sculpture in Millennium Park, Chicago. The work comprises twin 15-metre towers facing each other across a thin sheet of water that forms a 70-metre 'pool' level with the adjacent walkways. Children and adults can splash across the water, while video portraits made from the faces of more than 1,000 Chicago residents are projected on LED displays behind the glass blocks of which the towers are built. Every 12 minutes a spout of water emerges from the mouth of a projected face before the image disappears in a shower of water.
