A selection of Industrial homage painting<\/em>s. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some have been chosen<\/em> to showcase the<\/em> irresistible light of the sun<\/em>, and to<\/em> evoke the parallels<\/em> within physics, industry and the industrial world as it once was.<\/em> The figures now become a host of ghosts from an age of<\/em> lost industries. walking or more likely, cycling with the ever present cigarette, dwarfed by the monolithic vastness of ships or winding gear. Workers in a landscape of cold steel, smoke and noise, often deafened by hydraulic riveting and leaning in together to hear conversation. The paintings are not intended to represent actual events but are an evocation of the spirit of comradeship generated by the harsh nature of their work<\/em>, often drawn from fragments of<\/em> black and white reference<\/em>. The sun is emblematic of the white heat, born out of the industrial revolution of the eighteenth century. Our sun serves to connect continuity which links us to them.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
