Hutchesons Hope
Having worked for many years in GlasGogh, I have admired Hutcheson's House since my teens. An impressive, strong, and dominant structure.
The colour scheme took me by surprise. I wanted to adopt a real warmth and post-impressionist approach to creating the sounds and tone of this place.
The sky creates a sense of movement, twilight, and power. A nod to old Glasgow and to the voices that this historic building has heard over the years.
Inspired by Van Gogh's "The Church in Auvers-sur-Oise" (1890), this painting reimagines the Transport Museum with his signature violet hues and cobalt sky.
Mirroring the shapes and structures of the museum, I blend old architectural elements with the new, capturing the vibrant essence and emotive brushstrokes of Van Gogh in a contemporary setting.
