Description:
Mixed media artwork on paper. In a glazed frame and mounted with white card. Showing the main entrance to Salford Lads' Club, Coronation Street, Salford. The Club was established in 1903 as a purpose built club for boys. Manchester based artist Anthony McCarthy's drawings are a detailed exploration of urban life in Manchester and Salford. McCarthy is inspired by graphic design and printmaking having studied these techniques in detail while at university. More importantly, McCarthy's work has parallels with the work of L S Lowry. Given that McCarthy has worked with the Lowry collection of paintings and drawings for over ten years it is easy to see how he has been inspired. Like Lowry, the architecture in McCarthy drawings tower over any human activity; the everyday presents itself through a web of lines and intensive perspectives.
