About the Item

Please note we also have the original artwork for York - send us a message. Brendan Neiland (b.1941) R.A. (Expelled) Original Designs for Intercity Posters – Edinburgh and York Collage, spraypaint and cut out 91x58cm (36×23 inches) 1991 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. Born in Lichfield, 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 glass. With an effective use of light, made mysterious through reflection and distortion, he presents familiar structures in a new and romantic fashion. In his use of spray paint, he adds a smooth Elected in 1992 to the Royal Academy, he was appointed Keeper of the Royal Academy Schools in 1998 and was credited with revitalising 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. Sir Peter Blake, a fellow Academician, resigned in protest.

  • Untitled (Spray Painting 5) : contemporary abstract work of art
    Located in New York, NY
    Abstract geometric artwork by a contemporary artist Gerald Wolfe. Gerald Wolfe’s wall pieces have a three-dimensional, architectural feel. The artist’s approach to his paintings is intuitive. He meticulously creates his works step by step, imbuing shapes and lines with energy. The interplay of forms, color, and texture creates tension between flatness and depth. His work can become a unique gift and will be a wonderful addition to any space, be it a living room of a modern home or a lobby of a commercial building. Gerald Wolfe received a Bachelor of Arts degree in history from the University of Maryland in 1972, discovered his interest in art and went on to study fine arts at the School of Visual Arts in New York City. In the summer of 1974, he also studied at Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture in Maine. From his first show in 1979, a summer invitational at OK Harris Gallery, Gerald has shown his work on a consistent basis in New York, including such galleries as Denise Bibro Fine Art, NYC, and Kim Foster Gallery, NYC . In addition, he has had solo exhibits at the Paterson Museum in Paterson, New Jersey...
