SOLD.......I previously studied Garden Design at the English Gardening School and after this ran my own garden design and build business. I first visited this conservatory during my studies, twinning this with my interest in the built environment, I returned years later to paint it. Much like Kew the structure of the space fascinated me as did the plants. 
 
Combining brutalist architecture/interior design with what effectively felt like an interior jungle gave the sense of the power of nature over the built environment. Which is not the case here but the nature of the planting gives that impression and that it was I want the viewer to feel. Almost post-apocalyptic I again played with the negative to emphasize the roof structure and emboldened the plants to stand out more to add interest. The orange roof was decided upon to add context to the warmth of the space under the glazing. 
 
The original painting of 'Barbican Conservatory' was painted in 2016 with acrylic paint on Hahnemühle bamboo paper 265gsm.
 
The dimensions of the visible painting are 41.5cm x 55.5cm, with the total size is 42cm x 56cm which includes a 0.5cm border. The painting is signed by the artist. Enclosed with the painting is also a certificate of authenticity signed by the artist.

The painting will be shipped flat, wrapped in tissue paper, placed into an acid free sleeve then secured between several layers of two ply cardboard.
