Hamilton Strip - Jan 27 2010

BRAND NEW piece in the Hamilton Strip series - The Century Theatre

This is an image I have been working on for the Hamilton Strip series for the past few months. The source photos were taken in December 2008. For those of you who don't know, this building is being torn down as I type this. It is truly sad to think that the building will be gone just as I finally finished this piece in honour of such a striking building.

Hamilton Strip review
by Stephanie Vegh

"The body of work for which I was witnessing the most enthusiastic audience response for the night wasn’t related to ReMix at all, but rather was on display at Mixed Media in both the main space of the shop and its small gallery alcove. Paul Elia’s Hamilton Strip is a relatively simple undertaking - digital drawings of local streetscapes adapted from photographs - but the images achieve a great deal by skillfully negotiating a medium that is too often used with no skill at all to depict an otherworldly imaginative space. The wide panoramas fusing together several photographs to create a single source image read as narratives to a graphic novel or a film noir of Hamilton and illustrate the strange confluence of structures that can share a single street address in this city, from industrial shells to family homes."
