artist: Simon Parkin artist: Shaun Smyth

Shaun is essentially a project painter. His current projects are huge undertakings, so it was

with some pleasure that I saw his work arrive for the Manchester 2020 listing. These landscape
paintings are really terrific. Shaun has been hiding them away whilst he worked on massive 16 ft
(4mtrs) pieces for his project (Mersey Gateway Bridge and the Fiddlers Ferry) The Fiddlers Ferry
work is going to be shown at the Warrington Museum and Art Gallery, along with project partner

photographer Lee Harrison. A photographer of great insoght for industrial images.
However, I think the two individual canvas works in this show, although smaller than his extremely
large pieces (some are over 4000mm (circa 16 foot) I still think the works in this Gallery are
a collectors dream. And if I were any collector who wished to enhance the standard of their
landscape collection, I would have no hesitation in recommending these pieces.

In fact I should snap them up immediately and out of the gallery, before someone else does.
