PaintingDescription
The painting is based on several drawings in the Blackwall Tunnel area, and studies of people.
I am inspired by people and how they live in the city, I am more intrigued by how people inhabit the public spaces of the city, rather that domestic private space. I am more inspired by how we live as communities rather than how with live out individual lives. I am inspired by London, with its wealth of history, and its abundant regeneration that is both a challenge to communities and a way that amenities and housing are improved for each successive generation. The cityscape is constantly changing this makes the city an exciting visual environment for a visual artist. London is a cultural City, with communities sharing their rules, rituals, traditions and shared realities. I am an Artist of east London, I am also inspired by other city painters, such as L.S. Lowry who created compelling portraits of his city and it’s people.Try it!
