Tailor

This print was created by Tommy Perman for his solo exhibition with The Red Door Gallery, titled “Leith, in Red and Black”.   The Tailor shop depicted here feels closed for business, though the windows are still protected by defensive grills.  In this context, the signage takes on a new meaning, instead of advertising the productivity of the proprietors, it instead reads as the building itself asking to be repaired, altered and tailored to suit purpose.  For more information about this exhibition, click here.

Tommy Perman is an Edinburgh-based artist, designer, musician and illustrator.  Tommy’s artwork focuses on his love of drawing architecture and urban landscapes. We exhibit a collection of his works that span the ten years since he graduated from Gray’s School of Art in 2002.
