Lamp Post 2016 Print

I made this painting in response to the lead up and aftermath of the EU Referendum of 2016. It features a lamp post on Market Street, New Mills, Derbyshire which is covered with stickers expressing views from opposing sides. Emotions ran high around this time, and I wanted to express the uncomfortable feelings of division which the vote brought out in a small community. One side of the street is in heavy shadow, the other is brightly lit. An old lady crosses the road, several Fast Food Shop signs can be seen, and the Union Jack flies from The Town Hall in the distance. Part of my New Mills art prints collection.
