Pells Pool

Mixed Media on Wood Panel.

Built in 1861, Pells Pool is the oldest documented freshwater lido in the UK. Judging by the font on this current building I imagine that existing ticket booth and shop was built in the 1950's. I love the contrast between the blue and white with the red lettering. On this relief I actually used sticks for the tree trunks to add even more depth.

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.
