Although this is a photo of a picture from an exhibition rather than a mural, I think the brilliant and thought-provoking artist (Fraser Chapman) would be able to create some mighty fine murals for Manchester. His exhibition at the Cornerhouse officially ends today, although there was not much left when I popped in on Friday.
This piece is in a series of moon maps and is entitled Geologic map of the south side of the moon. Acrylic on canvas, they sell for £400-£600. Fraser is a Manchester artist and through his nomadic shop Grotto (part gallery, part shop, part event space) enables local artists to sell their work in the centre of Manchester.
If I ran the council I would commission him and others to produce murals to cover the horrendous concrete disaster zone in Piccadilly Gardens that us Mancunians refer to as Manchester’s Berlin Wall...

Awesome! What a beauty Chrissy.
ReplyDeleteColourful harmony.
ReplyDeletePlease have a good Tuesday.
Now you got me wanting to see the Manchester Berlin Wall. I'm entertained by snarky comments about city government decisions. That aside, I like this piece. In large format on a wall, it would draw attention and contemplation. Thanks for contributing to this week's Monday Mural.
ReplyDeleteHey, I'm glad you all like the painting - you can see some more of my work here if you are interested.
