I am delighted to have my paintings on exhibition now at the Sir John Soane Museum and so beautifully framed by the museum.
Not only for the recognition of the work itself but more importantly it keeps the issue of the devastating fire and destruction of Mackintosh’s masterwork in the news and in the public eye.
“On June 15, 2018, Mackintosh’s Glasgow School of Art was destroyed by an inferno that lit up the city.
More than 150 firefighters were deployed, with crews resorting to pumping water from the River Clyde. So severe was the damage that a Scottish Fire and Rescue Service investigation was unable to establish how the fire started.
I hope the three watercolours, presented as a triptych, will serve as a reminder of just how ferocious the 2018 fire was and how much of a loss Mackintosh’s masterwork was for Glasgow, Scotland and the world, when it was ravaged by flames for the second time in four years.”
