Ricki Hudson
Series The Kick On
Location Mr Brightside, Christchurch
Song pairing: This Charming Man — The Smiths
Mr Brightside in Christchurch, set against a deep red ground and lit with flashes of metallic gold.
Part of Ricki Hudson’s eight-piece series The Kick On, This Charming Man captures the point where the day begins to feel more polished, more social and perhaps a little less restrained. The building stands confidently within the composition, its repeated windows and strong architectural lines softened by Ricki’s loose, expressive surface.
Paired with This Charming Man by The Smiths, the work brings together place, music and the mood of the night as it gathers momentum. Metallic and fluorescent details catch the light, giving the familiar venue a sense of movement and energy.
Bold, charismatic and slightly offbeat—a Christchurch landmark remembered with its own soundtrack.
