"Diverted Traffic in Shoreditch" by Iker Garcia Barrenetxea

I painted this street scene of London a few months ago. I used mixed media and I recycled a door wich I cut in two as a the frame to stretch canvas over it. The result: a hard surface to work on that allowed me to even use marker pen, pencil and acrylic paint. The location is Old Street facing the junction with Shoreditch High Street.

I will be opening my studio at Oslo House East Wing, flat 21, as many more artists in the area will do. It´s a great chance to meet new artists and see nice stuff over the 3 days of the festival with many events and lots of visitants.

And this is one of the fisrt paintings I did when I arrived in London. This is back in 2001 and is the view from Hackney Wick Train Station.
At the time I didn´t know this area at all. I ended up here under random circumstances. Funny enough seven years after, I became a local of Hackney Wick and today, well now, as I am wrtitting this I can look over the window and almost see the same scene. Maybe I should start thinking about painting the destiny...

"Mare Street" by Iker García Barrenetxea


I painted this street scene in 2003 and today this oil painting found its place in San Sebastian, where I am spending some time with friends and family. I´d like to apologize to those that have checked my blog during the last days as I´ve not posted new things.
Have a nice week!
