About The Artwork
As a first-time visitor to Ramsgate in 2016, I quickly became fascinated with this building, completing many colour studies that focused on elements of its architectural splendour. The building was vacant, derelict back in 2016, yet what stories it could tell. BBC Kent interviewed me as a visitor about the fact that JD Wetherspoons had purchased the building and it was soon to become a pub. Built in 1903 the Pavilion is an iconic structure on Ramsgate’s seafront. The 1903 Grade II-listed Royal Victoria Pavilion was designed by architect Stanley Davenport Adshead in the style of a Robert Adam orangery The building was once a vibrant public space, housing a concert hall and assembly rooms. Having had many uses since it’s ‘Dance Hall’ days of construction including a Disco and a Casino, it has not been occupied since 2008. The painting captures the atmospheric feel of this wonderful building before its transformation .

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
