The transition from horse-drawn transport to the motor car can sometimes be traced through surviving painted advertisements such as these, where different eras of transport briefly coexist on the same wall. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/695e774b46720e4c78fd2754/72fd39ac-a96e-4695-95b4-f176b9a6fd30/celia-hegedus-brymay-19-5x31-5in-50x80cm-oil-on-linen.jpg Blog - Ghost Signs of London - Make it stand out Brymay ghost signs at Lillie Road (L) and West Brompton (R) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/695e774b46720e4c78fd2754/a0027428-bfb4-419d-8c4f-645442168851/celia-hegedus-sketchbook-brymay-ghost-sign-lillie-road-london.JPG Blog - Ghost Signs of London - Make it stand out Sketchbook pages of Brymay ghost sign on Lillie Road Fulham. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/695e774b46720e4c78fd2754/7b94988a-a3ca-4706-87fa-8c174be1abeb/celia-hegedus-sketchbook-brymay-ghost-sign-lillie-road-london.JPG-pencil.JPG Blog - Ghost Signs of London - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/695e774b46720e4c78fd2754/de0c9161-fb25-4a5d-bd5d-b85935ab36ef/celia-hegedus-sketchbook-brymay-ghost-sign-wandsworth-road-london.JPG Blog - Ghost Signs of London - Make it stand out Sketchbook page: Brymay sign off Wandsworth Road. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/695e774b46720e4c78fd2754/b528a427-5187-4b4f-a096-089bc46a5740/celia-hegedus-sketchbook-brymay-ghost-sign-for-sale-wandsworth-road-london.JPG Blog - Ghost Signs of London - Make it stand out Sketchbook page of Brymay advertisement off Wandsworth Road now with For Sale sign These sketchbook studies explore details that later appear in the finished paintings, recording the character of the walls, brickwork and surrounding streetscape. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/695e774b46720e4c78fd2754/e7e19133-f562-45c7-80dc-b36a6521c616/b815cec7-e9e0-43df-8867-ed943940537f.jpg Blog - Ghost Signs of London - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/695e774b46720e4c78fd2754/d23baf33-412d-4cbe-ba5c-8781ffdd8f7a/celia-hegedus-sketchbook-ghost+sign-redfern-rubber-matts-lambourn-road-wandswroth.JPG Blog - Ghost Signs of London - Make it stand out Ghost signage for Redfern Rubber Matts on the corner Lambourn Road off Wandsworth road. Usually covered up with a hoarding, the messages on the hoarding change. Pictured here in 2018 featuring a caution against obesity and in 2022 a sketchbook page of the same location now covered with a McDonalds advertisement. The changing hoardings become another temporary layer over the historic wall beneath, reflecting how London's streets continue to evolve while traces of the past remain visible. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/695e774b46720e4c78fd2754/f4110eae-a7e4-4670-9892-9a2deb560f55/celia-hegedus-sketchbook-dundee-marmalade-ghost-sign-bayswater-road-london.JPG Blog - Ghost Signs of London - Make it stand out As the urban landscape changes ghost signage can become cropped and truncated. The demolition of neighbouring buildings, extensions and alterations can unexpectedly reveal or partially obscure historic painted signs. In many cases only fragments survive, inviting the viewer to imagine what once covered the whole wall. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/695e774b46720e4c78fd2754/159a449d-715d-4eaa-a60e-b75d16fa3a7e/celia-hegedus-earls-court-road-ghost-sign.jpg Blog - Ghost Signs of London - Make it stand out The superimposition of letters can create incomprehensible designs. These accidental combinations of lettering, colour and texture often create abstract compositions that are visually interesting in their own right, quite apart from the original advertisements they once displayed. Ghost signs continue to disappear through redevelopment, repainting and restoration, making them an increasingly valuable record of London's architectural and commercial history. Recording them through sketches and paintings preserves not only the advertisements themselves but also a moment in the changing character of the city. https://www.celiahegedus.com/contact daily 0.75
