Neil Roland - Gallery 50 Royal Courts of Justice, London
This has been my biggest individual commission to date. A collection
of some 50 very large (up to six foot wide) artworks to hang in the Rolls
Building at the Royal Courts of Justice in the City of London. I was presented
to H.M. The Queen when she opened the building and looked at the artwork at the
end of 2011.
The pictures, just a few of which are included here, are all taken from
within the Square Mile of the City of London, and reflect the activities of the
new courts - the biggest commercial courts in Europe.
I have an extensive London collection viewable at my Didsbury
studio.
