Avin A Butchers, Original On Canvas

Conor Murgatroyd is a Bradford-born artist, known for painting still life pieces and distinctly-British landscapes, inspired by a mix of past events, wistful memories, emotions and pure imagination.

Avin a Butchers is an original painting depicting a cat staring longingly through the window of its local butchers. The piece is one in a line of works by the artist to capture the action inside typical shops, alongside hungry pets wishing they’d remembered to bring their purse.

Murgatroyd explains: ‘I love shopping. For food, clothes, jewellery, fish, you name it. I get a kick out of it. I wanted to create work about my favourite shops and the people in them. I love good characters, they’re what makes the world go round, and the places I paint are full of them.’ 

Avin A Butchers is an original piece created with enamel on canvas by contemporary artist, Conor Murgatroyd.  The painting is signed by the artist in verso.
