Arthur's Café

Gicleé Print with archival inks on Somerset Enhanced Velvet paper 255gsm, Limited edition of 25

Opened in 1935, Arthur's Café on Kingsland Road in London was run by three generations, as the sign says Father, Son and Grandson, but sadly closed its doors in 2018 after the death of its owner Arthur Woodham. I was drawn to the tiling and the lovely orange typography that harks back to a bygone era.

This print of a relief art canvas was created by Georgina Smith in her studio in Brighton. Each artwork is built up of multiple layers of card, cut to create a 3D image, which is then drawn and painted. Her paintings centre on historical buildings with a focus on those that have a sense of nostalgia and faded charm.

Dimensions 300x400mm or 400x500mm, unframed
