Paul Stafford has been a Gallery Different Artist since the gallery opened in the Fitzrovia space in 2011. Always innovative, always different, Paul has yet another surprise up his sleeve.
Long a fan of Coronation Sreet, Paul and his daughter visited the old set in 2015 to be told that it was being knocked down in December of that year. From that date he has been furiously working on paintings of The Street. Scouring the web for memorabilia and press photos of times gon by, he has painted Hilda in front of her 'Muriel', Stan as 'Stan the Terrible', Albert wearing his trademark hat and our Tracy wearing next to nothing in a charity shoot.
On 7th December 2015 Paul will pack around 30 paintings into a Luton van and head up North. He will use the van as his exhibition space and will park it on Quay Street on a meter outside the old Coronation Street Studios. It will open to the public for one week only from 8th December to 14th December 2015.
He will hold a Private View in the van from 5pm until 8pm on the 9th December. At 7pm precisely he will hold a minutes silence in the van in memory of all those acting icons who graced the cobbles and are with us no more. At 7pm on 9th December 2015 it will be exactly 55 years since the first ever Corrie episode was aired on Granada TV in 1960. Present cast and crew will be invited.
