Our interpretation of the iconic Manchester Bee, cut into a single piece of poplar and painted a glorious yellow.
The Manchester Bee symbol has become widely recognised to symbolise integrity, creativity and resilience. Living only 18 miles from the great city we wanted to create our own representation of the symbol, for people who like contemporary artwork but doesn't like following the crowd.
We wanted our bee to be intricate, strong and dramatic. The design is cut into a single piece of poplar, mounted with a second border on the rear to keep it true and lift it off the wall slightly. This allows the design to create a stunning shadow on the wall when placed in a well lit space.
This picture is perfect for anyone who loves Manchester, the Stone Roses, Happy Monday's, New Order and the Industrial Revolution. Or just appreciates good art.
