About The Artwork
Maida Hill Tunnel is on the Regent’s Canal, not 500 yards from the Grace Gates at Lords Cricket Ground, London NW8. Yet the view could be in the heart of Manchester or some such in the ‘industrial north’. This was roughly the scene in the late 1960s when I lived nearby. The power station has gone now of course. So have the ‘Guinness Trust’ flats. As for Maida, where did that name come from? A battleground in southern Italy I believe when the Brits fought the French in some forgotten war in the early 1800s. Today all that is remembered of the skirmish is the name Maida Vale and this one unhonoured tunnel. NB: Though described on this site as 'acrylic on wood', this work is actually painted in acrylic on a gessoed panel. The panel is made of hardboard, known in the US as Masonite.

United Kingdom
I paint industrial architecture, townscapes, landscapes, portraits and still life. Many pictures are based on London buildings, some of which - most of which come to think of it - have since been demolished, though not as a direct result of depiction. My interest in industrial architecture stems from the fact that I used to paint outdoors, in front of the scene itself. One of the few places you could do this without being disturbed was on derelict industrial wasteland - brown field sites as they're now called. If you paint in public places passers-by constantly interrupt. They look over your shoulder at what you're doing and say things like: 'My Nigel draws....'
