Inspired by the lights reflecting off the street to create a vibrant and light-filled palette. The horizontal brushstrokes are a direct influence of my background in weaving, creating a stitch effect with paint.

In Kevin Collins' artistic journey, the influence of woven tapestry weaves its way into his creative tapestry. Like a master weaver, Collins draws inspiration from the intricate interplay of warp and weft, translating the essence of textile art into his painting of Belfast City Hall. The rhythmic repetition of vertical and horizontal brushstrokes echoes the delicate threads that form the fabric of a tapestry, evoking a sense of texture and depth. Through his skilled manipulation of color and composition, Collins creates a visual symphony that resonates with the rich tradition of woven craftsmanship. This intermingling of artistic mediums breathes life into his artwork, infusing it with a tactile quality which reveals itself more as you see it from a distance .
