EDITORS COMMENTS
Capturing the essence of a beloved television series, artist John Bratby unveils his masterpiece at the Whitworth Art Gallery in Manchester. This stunning mural showcases 15 iconic characters from Coronation Street, bringing them to life with vibrant colors and intricate details. The gallery's walls come alive as familiar faces grace the canvas – each character carefully crafted to resemble their on-screen counterparts. The unveiling event was attended by several cast members, adding an extra touch of excitement and authenticity to this remarkable piece of art. However, amidst the buzz and admiration, one notable figure stood out – William Roache, known for his portrayal of Ken Barlow. As he gazed upon his own likeness within the painting, a hint of skepticism seemed evident on his face. Perhaps Roache found it difficult to fully embrace seeing himself immortalized in such a unique way. Nevertheless, Bratby's creation is undeniably captivating and serves as a testament to both his artistic talent and the enduring popularity of Coronation Street. This snapshot from February 9th, 1966 takes us back in time to an era when soap operas held immense cultural significance and brought communities together through their engaging storylines. This print by Bradley offers viewers a glimpse into this momentous occasion at the Whitworth Art Gallery – where art meets entertainment and nostalgia intertwines with creativity.
