This painting is about the culture of Bristol.

Oxford and Venice might have their Bridge of Sighs, but so does Bristol. Ours is a little less grand, but it does connect two buildings, on Leonard Street, in the heart of Old Bristol.

We may not have Gondolas, but we do have an energy that’s a bit more in-your-face.

This painting is about colour and energy and a nod to the fact that innovation and trends happen in the alleyways, on the fringe. They are not curated, they are not deigned from above and they certainly don’t follow rules.

This is the dichotomy of disorder. At once it is discordant and necessary. It exists because stasis is unhealthy – sometimes you’ve got to get into those dark corners and unearth new ideas and kick up some disorder.
