Peels on Friday Original – POA

Peels on Friday – POA
Acrylic on canvas | 2000mm x 1500mm

A powerful portrait of Johannesburg’s industrial past, Peels on Friday captures the last days of the historic Piels cold storage building before its demolition. Rendered in evocative detail — from rusted rooftops and broken windows to street scenes of taxis and weathered walls — the work blends history, grit, and memory on an epic scale. Originally built in 1892, the building’s legacy and local folklore are immortalized in this deeply atmospheric piece.
