Description
Gasometer Gladys – turned a few heads in her day…
Some women carry the air of former glamour with them forever.
Gladys is one of them.
Set against the industrial presence of a gasometer, this painting captures an older woman whose best years may be behind her, but who still moves through the world with a hint of style, pride and remembered admiration.
There’s something poignant and funny in the contrast — the faded grandeur of the structure behind her, and the faded glamour of Gladys herself.
Part of Sue Dewhurst’s Owd Lasses collection, Gasometer Gladys is a gently humorous portrait of memory, resilience and the women who have lived larger lives than first appearances might suggest.
Painted with warmth, wit and tenderness, it celebrates a character who may be quieter now, but who once turned plenty of heads.
A talking point for your wall.
