Artwork Description

Reproduction Print on paper

Signed and numbered on the front.

The former Commercial Hotel in 7 Ellenborough St, Ipswich AUS was built in 1917 and is heritage listed. The two storey timber building is supported by very high adzed timber stumps, which appear to be in original condition and are braced up like a road bridge. Despite being closed as a hotel there are always signs of occupation behind the walls of peeling paint. I’ve heard that it may be a backpackers hostel though I can’t see any signs. The sign on the roof is a rebuilt version of the main sign on the front of the building. Hotels and shearing sheds throughout Australia commonly had painted signs on their corrugated iron roofs, so I thought this was an appropriate gesture on my part. The work shows the old hotel set in contrast to a new highrise apartment building on the adjoining site as well as a very old jacaranda tree of massive proportions. The biscuit coloured grass on the foreground playing fields reminded me of my childhood winters in Warwick where grass was rarely green.

HUNDRED AND ONE is complementary to DARLING AND WEST. Both buildings sit either side of the apartment building in the background. I've used the same colour skies in each drawing. They will make a nice duo on a wall.
