Brummification

Brummification is the Bull Ring on a wet afternoon — St Martin's spire holding its ground against the curve of Selfridges, red buses coming through, and the whole street shining back off the pavement.

The title is worked into the piece itself. BRUMMIFICATION runs along the building to the left of the spire, built into the collage rather than laid over it.

Hand embellished limited edition, signed and numbered from an edition of 49.

"Being challenged daily and discovering new and exciting ways of pushing boundaries keeps me motivated. My mixed media landscapes have something to say, which I like to express with collage and typography."

Butler creates this narrative with an expert use of characterisation; the people that occupy his scenes, a stylised representation of society that has often been compared to L.S. Lowry, are complemented and modernised with Butler’s collages.His inclusion of newspaper text, slogans, statements or a single word, adds a depth and intrigue that keeps the audience hooked.This murmur from the artist, a quiet commentary accompanying the scene itself can be likened to the hum of the city, the gentle chatter of a metropolis. With this, Butler brings an essence of the City onto our walls and into our homes.
