Original artwork description:
Hi, Happy Autumn,
This work is one of my detours into portraiture which I love to do from time to time.
It is derived from a set of daguerreotypes taken during the launch of the SS Great Eastern from the Millwall dock in 1857.
I love the expressions, the period clothes and the deterioration of the photographs - which I have accentuated through a series was yellow and white washes. The tension between Brunel and the others (watching their life savings slide into the water) is incredible..
The work is executed on two canvases.
Enjoy x
