'Ooh, lovely – no traffic!' was the reaction of a window shopper we recently overheard admiring this work. 'Yes, but look at the subsidence,' replied her companion, showing all the artistic sensibility of a chartered surveyor.
The work in question is by Kelly Stewart, and depicts Broughton Street as seen from Mansfield Place. It is currently on sale as a limited edition print in Concrete Wardrobe.
Stewart is originally from Sydney, Australia, where she studied Illustration and Printmaking before moving to the UK in 2000. Given her passion for Georgian, Victorian and Gothic architecture, Edinburgh's cityscapes have provided abundant inspiration ever since.
In 2001 she joined the Printmakers Workshop, one of several venues around Scotland in which her silkscreen prints have been exhibited over recent years.
