Trainspotting Painting – Original Cult Movie Artwork by Bart Carels
This Trainspotting painting by contemporary artist Bart Carels brings the chaos, charm, and decay of the 1996 cult classic straight to canvas. With expressive brushwork and a stripped-down palette, it captures a cinematic moment between Sick Boy and Renton—one grinning with reckless swagger, the other lost in smoke and thought.
A Gritty Cinematic Tribute
Unlike clean, polished portraits, this piece leans into raw emotion and imperfection. Muted reds and dusty greens bleed into a minimalist background, echoing the film’s gritty tone and urban edge. The tension between the two characters is immediate, intimate, and unmistakably *Trainspotting*.
