The image shows a painting on a white wall. The painting: Part of the unfinished 'Spirit's Of Place' series, a translation of the Latin 'Genius Loci', referring to the spirit or atmosphere of a place. This is a type of view that is very familiar to people who have been following my work. This is a place very near to where I live in Highfield, Sheffield, at the point where London Rd veers away from Abbeydale Rd. The cool painted walls of the surrounding buildings frame the central red light, which controls the space. Being centrally placed, the brightness and red glow pull you in to it's metaphorical gaze. #busstopgothic #atimeofstasis #kenopsia1 #paintbritain #painting
