Title
Great Junction Street
Description
A richly detailed painting of a 1930's building. The Mecca bingo hall sign hangs across the curved entrance to a building which was, obviously once the epitome of architectural style in its heyday. The artist has highlighted this architectural gem with sense of pensive resonance. There are no people in the painting but the work is filled with a ethereal human presence. An empty bus stop can be seen to the left hand side of the building and two small shops with their shutters closed. The building is highlighted in a glow of light as a vibrant blue sky takes up most of the frame around the building.
