This is the largest paining I’ve painted to date. It is titled “Alternative Belfast All Lit Up At Night” I wanted to create a piece that encapsulated some the changes I’ve see in in Belfast since moving back home after living 14 years away. Walking around the city centre on a Saturday night I definitely felt a new vibrancy & energy to city but also the rawness & industrial feel from a bygone era still definitely remained.
Belfast city itself is also becoming increasingly multicultural with people travelling from all over the world to either live or visit. This is the reason I decided to collage local & French poster into the piece. This city is also one of the street art capitals of Europe so I also wanted to evoke the feeling of the street art movement of 1980s New York into the painting. A movement that greatly influences my work.
How have you seen Belfast change over the last few years?
