"One of my favourite places to visit - a grown up lego land, with culture and things."

A bold painting with minimal pallette, strong shadow and sharp form. 
 
Notes from 2016. "I visit the Barbican a few times a year whether for a talk, cinema, exhibition or a walk round. I find it a fascinating place, some many different view points in this bold construction. I have painted quite few paintings of different areas of the Barbican. What caught my eye here was the way the light fell onto the monolithic style of structure and the way it changed the colour of the building. It was late morning in the summer and the sun was already quite high. I emboldened the colours I saw to create a soft but strong painting to reflect the architecture."
 
The original painting of 'Barbican I' 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.
