Title Brindley Place
Date 1998
Dimensions 22cm x 32cm
Remarks Consumerism, having generated the out of town shopping complex, now generates the in town entertainment complex.  Brindley Place is one of the focal points of regeneration in Birmingham, a haven for the drinker, party animal and short trek tourist.  It is a strange mix of toytown and modern abyss, best not visited on a Friday night unless you are under 27.  I think it requires celebration and this painting is a quick homage.
