EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Ian Pollard's remarkable architectural creation, the Post Modern Homebase DP103888. Situated at 195 Warwick Road in London's prestigious Kensington area, this Egyptianate masterpiece stood as a testament to Pollard's unique vision and his ability to infuse wit and irony into his designs. Sadly, this iconic structure met its untimely demise in 2014 when it was demolished. In this detailed shot, we are treated to an up-close view of the architecture that made Homebase DP103888 so distinctive. The intricate detailing showcases elements inspired by ancient Egypt, with ornate motifs adorning every corner. As our eyes wander across the image, we notice the presence of CCTV cameras strategically placed throughout the building - a nod to modern surveillance culture. The carefully chosen light fittings add another layer of intrigue to this composition. Their placement seems deliberate yet whimsical, perfectly complementing the overall aesthetic while simultaneously challenging traditional notions of design. Nigel Corrie skillfully captures all these elements in his photograph, allowing us to appreciate both the grandeur and subtleties of Pollard's creation. This image serves as a poignant reminder of how even groundbreaking works can be lost over time but immortalized through artistry such as Corrie's lens.
