Ice Cream Shop

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

Ice Cream Shop was on Boundary Road in Portslade. It doesn't exist any more but I am told that it sold only vanilla ice cream and it was the best ice cream you would ever have tasted. The owner would very slowly put a scoop into a paper bag which he would then fold over and staple closed - and the queues ran all the way down the street. I painted this using a local man's old photo's - I promised him a print of it when it was finished in exchange for the use of his picture.

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.
