Description
The Meeting, Wigan by Theodore Major
Original oil on board by Theodore Major. Rarely do Major’s smaller works come to market, making it a particular pleasure to offer this wonderful, vibrant painting by the late Wigan artist.
The large suns that feature in many of Major’s paintings can be interpreted as powerful symbols of light, hope and spiritual presence, set against the darkness of industrial life. His artistic vision was deeply rooted in childhood memories of golden sunlight, morning mist and smoke-filled skies, alongside a profound respect for the dignity of working people. These recurring elements combine to create a striking contrast between the harsh realities of the industrial landscape and the enduring promise of light and hope.
