Up The Shankill

Fine Art Belfast Print

Two iconic Belfast black taxis make their way up the Shankill Road.

 

The viewer’s eye follows their route as they creep up the road towards Woodvale.

 

Overhead, the Black Mountain keeps watch.

 

Filled with detail and energetic mark-making, this Shankill Road is bright and busy represented by texture, detail and flashes of vibrant colour.

The story behind...

Up The Shankill

The older style London black cab I’ve depicted here seems heavy and almost struggles up the hill.

I imagine the customers inside – seats that flip down and the glass panel between passengers and driver.

I’ve filled the canvas with detail, energetic mark-making and texture and I hope that in turn, it energises the viewer.

Meanwhile, on the road parallel, black taxis head up the Falls.

Same type of customer, similar taxi men complete with banter and dry wit so typical of Belfast. 

Are we really that different?
