Artwork Description

City Hall

0.0 x 0.0

Acrylic on canvas, 20" x 16" I lived on 12th and Cambie, kitty-corner to City Hall, when I moved to Vancouver for good almost 20 years ago. The building has often been portrayed with Orwellian 1984-ish overtones in many paintings and photos. It can be an imposing structure. This take is more playful, with festive fall trees and collapsed wedding-cake architecture. The green light emanating from the windows is the same shade that might be seen in banker's lamps or accountant's visors. The light is late afternoon sharp from the west. But surely the turbulent clouds on the horizon are not at all symbolic.
