Physical Description
Signage from Paintworks art materials shop on Kingsland Road in the shape of a paint pallette. Paint (possibly acrylic) on foam board.
Arts supplies shop Paintworks opened on the Kingsland Road, Hoxton in 1985. It supported local emerging artists through part-time employment. Former staff have gone on to become some of the best known names in contemporary art.
Staff members decorated the shop with signs promoting the shop’s products and services. Paintworks closed in July 2016 after rising rents and studio closures saw their artist customers being increasingly priced out of Hackney.
