'Eastlands Approach' Minimalist Manchester City Print

Etihad Stadium "Eastlands Approach" - A unique piece of art or gift for any discerning fan of Manchester City and original design.

In the year 2000 I was living less than a mile away from one of my all-time favourite football grounds - Maine Road - having moved to Manchester to study Civil Engineering as a mature student. From the high-rise blocks of the university, however, we could see a new structure taking shape in the distance, in readiness for the 2002 Commonwealth Games.Maine Road's days were numbered and Manchester City moved into the City of Manchester Stadium a year after the Games.

A visit to the stadium eluded me until a Stone Roses gig in June 2016, by which time it had been renamed the Etihad Stadium. Close up, I was struck by the beauty of the structure, in particular the roof support masts and cables, and the spiral stairwells they were connected to. I took a photo (above) and began to play with the colours, then worked up to this final design.

Available to buy as an unframed print, or professionally framed with high quality black frame and perspex glass.
