Mill Road departure Painting

In “Mill Road Departure” there is a man standing at a bus stop who was passed by a person walking with a rucksack. There is evidence of the people who occupy this space with the discarded can of notoriously strong lager and a bottle baring the “Bass Charington” geometrically flat red triangle. These functions as a reference to a sometimes invisible community of homeless people as well as the everyday being filled with the romantic grander of history and Aesthetics. As such it can be seen as a juncture between three separate communities in Cambridge that seem to co-exist but regard each other little. I walked through this site with some of the art references that are personal to me such as; a Victor Pasmore sky, The Hanging Gardens of Hammersmith, the building work behind the blue and orange hoarding is replaced with the silhouette of Louis Dageurre’s Ruins of Holyrood Chapel 1824, The Lights and Bass Charrington symbol from Manet’s Bar at the Follies Bergieres are echoed in the real scene at the Mill Road Bus stop. “Peter getting out of Nick's Pool” by David Hockney which won the John Moores Liverpool Exhibition 6 at the Walker Art Gallery, Liverpool 1967.
