Brendan Neiland (b. 1941)
York Railway Station
Original Vintage Poster
102x64cm
Born in Stafford in 1941, Brendan Neiland is a renowned contemporary painter and printmaker with work exhibited in The Victoria and Albert Museum, The Tate Gallery London, The Collections of the British Council and the Arts Council of Great Britain. Neiland's work often explores intricate patterns of light and reflection, creating beauty from the glass panes of city towers and pools of water. In this regard he has often been likened to Georges Braque and Johannes Vermeer.
In addition to the many awards, Neiland has been Keeper of the Royal Academy Schools, elected Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts, appointed Professor of Painting at the University of Brighton as well as the Loughborough University. His work is spread internationally, and can be found in public and private collections.
In 1991 Neiland was commissioned by InterCity to create a series of five posters in honour of the electrification of the East Coast Main Line and consequent introduction of the IC225 fleet of electric trains. His unique combination of realism, reflections and cityscapes allowed the creation of glamorous posters with the station buildings reflected in train windows, the composition held together with electric cables which give a powerful structure to the paintings.
The following year the King’s Cross poster was brought to life by Saatchi & Saatchi in their television commercial Welcome to InterCity. Neiland also produced posters for the new InterCity line to the West Country and also for the Highland Lines for Scotrail.

Brendan Neiland
Brendan Neiland was born on 23 October 1941 in Lichfield, Staffordshire. Neiland has been interested in architectural subjects his whole life. His distinctive paintings contain generally quite stark buildings but softened by reflections in water or in the glass. With effective use of light, made mysterious through reflection and distortion, he presents familiar structures in a new and romantic fashion. In 1991, Neiland was commissioned by InterCity to create a series of five posters in honor of the electrification of the East Coast Main Line. Neiland also produced posters for the new InterCity line to the West Country and also for the Highland Lines for Scotrail. Elected in 1992 to the Royal Academy, he was appointed Keeper of the Royal Academy Schools in 1998 and was credited with revitalizing what had been a struggling art school. In 2004, he was expelled from the RA under circumstances believed to relate to an internal power struggle. Fellow Academician Sir Peter Blake resigned from the Academy in protest at Neiland's expulsion.
