Battersea Power Station

from £75.00

Original Painting : Sold

Before its’ resurrection like a phoenix from the flames, Battersea Power Station was often viewed from passing trains or through barbed wire on top of concrete walls. Its’ building hollowed out and open to the air, its gigantic chimneys slowly crumbling, glass shattered from rusting window frames and mysterious holes in huge cliff walls of bricks where something industrial and mechanical was removed through brute force. With its future uncertain for close on 25 years, I took the chance to draw and paint the building when it was suddenly opened for a surprise art exhibition in 2006. I can’t remember the exhibition for the life of me, because the joy of being close to a building I’d admired since living in London was just so over powering.
