Greenham Common Bunker

I have just completed a new painting based on the bunkers at Greenham Common which were constructed to house the infamous US Cruise missiles for a period in the 1980s.

Nic Pehkonen, Greenham Common Bunker, 2012, w 169cm x h 179cm
Household emulsion paint on unstretched canvas hung on 4 x tarpaulin clips.

The idea for this painting came from looking at some aerial views of the bunkers which revealed them to be almost square (in terms of their footprint) and something of a letter 'H' shape which I thought would make for a satisfying composition.
