Collier Street Baths, Salford-Painting Series -2004 Collier Street Baths is a Grade II* listed building, The Italianate brick building on Collier Street, was designed by Thomas Worthington, who is considered one of Manchester’s greatest 19th century architects. When opened in 1856 by the Manchester and Salford Baths and Laundries Company it was used by 3,476 people in the first two weeks, and was considered one of the finest pools in the country. It was at the beginning of a golden age for public swimming and was used by 50,000 a year at its peak, Mark Addy one of the city’s most famous sons, who rescued more than 50 people from drowning, learned to swim there. For decades it has crumbled and has been neglected in a forgotten corner of Salford. The laundry, boiler house, and chimney have been demolished, the pools tiles have gone, and the building has no roof. Yet McKay’s has found this abandoned gem a constant source of interest. His work focuses on elements of the building’s exterior architecture reflecting its palette, beauty and splendor.

The daily production of McKay's personal practice gives an opportunity to convey his interests through visual means. He is motivated to succeed in drawing mass attention and engaging with the viewer to create an increased understanding of the subject matter represented in the works. Throughout the process development of each project he creates, his practice constantly looks at other artists/art forms, visual interpretations of the chosen subject matter. The present work is inspired by several artists/photographers including artists Turner, Matisse, Jasper John's, Ed Rushca and Francis Bacon. Photography by Tony Ray Jones and Martin Parr has also influenced his personal practice. His practice needs constant discipline which comes from continual life drawing sessions which have developed on occasion into short painted life studies to gain a decisive control of paint. These studies have been influenced by the works of Bacon, Euan Uglow and Lucian Freud. Studio @Rogue Artists Studios , Manchester
