London

Tap each image for an expanded view and then tap ‘i’ symbol for more information on the painting.

For me, London is a place full of contradictions. It feels simultaneously old and modern, familiar and yet quite alien. Its scale seems vast in comparison with other towns, but its details are very human. The constant human traffic is such an integral part of many scenes that I have often sought to find ways to incorporate figures into some of the compositions.

COMMISSION

In August 2009 I undertook an unusual commission – to create a painting over the course of a summer evening event at ‘The Deck’ atop the National Theatre in London for the ‘HomeLet’ group. The idea was to create a large ‘en plein air’ work showing a Thames panorama with partying figures in the foreground.

I visited the venue a couple of weeks ahead to work out the logistics, to make some preliminary sketches in thinking out the composition – producing the practice painting seen on the left and then, on the evening of 20 August worked over a period of 4 hours, creating the triptych seen on the right.
