This triptych is the third in a series of paintings by artist/designer Stu MacKay, titled ‘UK INVASION’, that explores the relationship between British classic popular culture, science fiction, institution and design - whilst questioning the ownership of visual imagery. This third wave explores the use of famous British architecture from the London skyline. All three painting in this third wave are named after H. G. Wells novels (an author we like to call ‘the Grand Daddy’ of British Science fiction) The first painting in this third wave is titled “TIME MACHINE”, this painting combines the usual Sci-fi suspect with St. Stephen's Tower (Big Ben a iconic image that symbolizes Politics) infused with a Halter-shelter (that is reflective of out of control). The second painting is titled “THE INVISIBLE MAN?”, using the Swiss Re building which was designed using the shape of an acorn and more famously know as the Gherkin, a name christened by the media. The artist has has always looked at the building as a cigar being stubbed out on the city of London. The last painting in this third wave is titled “War of The World” (WotW), celebrating Sir Christopher Wren the most famous architects of all time and using his St. Paul's Cathedral (a iconic image that symbolizes Religion) dressed with four tools of propaganda (digital, audio, visual & literature). TIME MACHINE was painted whilst being on location in public display on Bromley High Street and Greenwich Market. INVISIBLE MAN? & WAR OF THE WORLD were painted whilst on location at Greenwich Market. All three painting received additional TLC where work was undertaken in the artist studio. Each painting was produced on 20” x 30” canvas with acrylic paint.       Back to top ABOUT THE ARTIST...   STU MACKAY (Fine-Artist / Graphic Designer / Photographer ) An artist/designer with a commitment to using his creative flair in a wide range of artistic productions.
