Helter Skelter

Mixed Media on Canvas

The Helter Skelter on Brighton's Palace Pier was built in 1949 and has had a few homes including Alton Towers before it arrived on the south coast. When I first moved to Brighton I took lots of local inspiration photographs to work from. It was only when I came to paint this that I realised the slide is missing! I feel that this makes the image feel more unique - they remove it in the winter for cleaning so I just happened to catch it at that moment.

This 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 familiar buildings found in Brighton, with a focus on those that have a sense of faded seaside charm.
