Bryant and May Building, Cremorne, Melbourne.
Oil on canvas. 2024.
My first painting of 2024 in Australia! I'm planning on doing a series of cityscapes during my time here and I thought I'd keep it local for the first one.
Cremorne is currently where I live and is an area east of the Melbourne CBD, north of the Yarra River that has several old preserved factories.
The Bryant and May building was built between 1910 and 1922 and used to make matches. As soon as I saw the clock tower and brick facade I knew I needed to paint this.
No longer a match factory but the building is well preserved.
