Description: | This painting is from a series that focuses on suburban house fronts. Although these houses appear to be all the same, the artist is acutely aware of their individual importance to those who live in them. David Hepher has described these houses as "the face people present to the world, at the same time providing refuge from too close contact with other people." The realistic style of the painting highlights Hepher's meticulous almost obsessive attention to detail as he documents every personal fixture and fitting.
Oil painting showing the exterior of two houses, focusing on their two front doors and gates. The doors have ornate stained glass windows and are painted in tones of green, as are the gates. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/uk/ | Publisher: | Wolverhampton Arts and Museums Service | Rights holder: | David Hepher | Subjects: | Doors Houses House design Fine arts Landscape Oil painting Oil Paintings Suburbs Art collections | Temporal: | 1973
