The red door, old Rowntree’s factory

Peter Davis, one of the most well regarded social realist painters in the UK, has produced a collection especially for York.

Says Peter, "'Living History and Technology in York' are part of a new urban realist series capturing contemporary stories of people in everyday life, technology in hand. These three paintings feature the old Rowntree’s factory on Haxby Road and are set in different parts of the building. I really liked the idea of capturing this York landmark before it’s redeveloped."
