The Old Yorkshire Brewery by Helen Pynta

Features

ARTIST NOTES: This is one of my four "Melbourne Aspects Collection of 2014." The Old Yorkshire Brewery (Circa 1938) boasts old architectural beauty and history to Collingwood Melbourne that inspired me to paint it.rnrnDuring the heyday of the nineteenth century, Collingwood’s manufacturing and brewing industries were thriving. Keen to quench the thirst for golden ale, John Wood and his architect son, James, selected a two-acre site in Robert Street. In 1876, they began to lay the first foundation stones of the Yorkshire Brewery, with its crowning glory a six-storey, polychrome brick brew tower that could be seen for many miles around. The magnificent tower remained the tallest building in Melbourne for 12 years and is now heritage-listed today.rnrnThis painting compliments a room fitted out with Industrial style furniture and decor.

ARTIST BIO I am an artist from the Hume region and my work has attracted a lot of interest here, Interstate and overseas. With over 20 yrs of painting experience, my work has evolved into an attractive naïve painting style of buildings & landscapes. I am always looking for new challenges in my painting. The theme of storytelling is something I'm drawn to. The vibrant use of colour in my work is a colour exaggeration which is intentional. As life unfolds so does the development of my art work creating a lot more depth in colour and detail which give these paintings a totally new dimension. My works are considered contemporary, modern & naïve. Thank you for visiting my gallery. View works by Helen Pynta in Camberwell Art Show
