'Usurp', 36x36 inches
Oil on canvas, 2021 (Sold, but available as a print) I've been painting Cityscapes over the course of 7 years. There has been a constant refining to the techniques, palette and narrative - seeking to unify all disciplines in my creative endeavours; from harmony to mood. Emotion to objectivity. Composition to performance. Style and design to relevance. In essence, the works are meant to capture the monumental buildings and towers that are rife in any busy metropolitan city across the world. They are a reminder that even in these overcrowded steel skylines, there is beauty and energy in everything. Most details are done away with in place of mood and the paintings are generally completed in a few sittings. The paintings are a way to extend the romantic appreciation of architecture. A nostalgic nod to the city, its space and the concept of decay. It’s not my intention to paint scenes with lots of details, but in a more reasonable way of painting the mood of the city and it’s nocturnal energy.
