The Gareth Gardner Gallery is set host an exhibition titled Brutalism in Colour by photographer Christopher Hope-Fitch from 7 June to 16 June, 2024.

Hope-Fitch’s long-term project showcases vibrant photographs of brutalist architecture, revealing the hidden textures, geometries, and colours often overlooked in these structures. The exhibition features images from over 100 locations, taken over the past seven years.

The photographs, which might be mistaken for thermal images at first glance, are actually long-exposure night-time digital photographs with bold colour variations derived from different light sources and surfaces, amplified in post-production.

The collection includes iconic and lesser-known brutalist buildings such as the now-demolished Welbeck Street Car Park in London, Coventry’s disused Elephant Building sports centre, and the endangered Museum of London building by Powell & Moya.
