The Kitsch Stall - Based on a no doubt imperfect memory of Camden Market in the 1990s. by Lewis Cooper

Comments

I used to go there on Sunday mornings in the 80’s looking for brass doorknobs for my stripped pine doors. Mmm. Terrific picture Lewis.

Terrific scene Lew. Full of life and mirth

Full of detail...and life. I like the contrast between the punk couple on the right and the stuck in the 1960's stall holder.

Thank you for your comments. Glad you picked up on the 60's stallholder, Tony. When I was going to the market in the early 90s, it seemed to me that a lot of the people were stuck in the so called 'swinging' 60s...old uniforms, top hats etc. Goths were also big, back then. Well, 'big' for a few people. I just loved to see it all.

In the 90's both my sons lived near Camden Market in London. We'd visit the market when we saw our sons. A lot of good stuff, and a lot of tatty kitsch. I found the kitsch more interesting. Mixed media.

About the Artist

Lewis Cooper

Self taught. Love drawing. Like to make pictures up, without using reference pics, often in cartoon style. I do other pictures where I do use reference. I'm knocking on a bit, born in 1940 in Greenwich, London. Retired, and loving it.
