Promenade Lamps, Chelsea Reach

A monumental, deeply mature centrepiece defining the architectural weight and shifting summer light of the Thames looking from Chelsea Reach towards Wandsworth Bridge. Painted entirely fresh from the artist’s lifelong memory and sketchbook shorthand, the 50×60 cm composition features a powerful spatial perspective, utilizing a heavy foreground embankment promenade and two darkly silhouetted Victorian streetlamps to throw the distant cityscape into a hazy, luminous distance. Sculpted with a low-medium hog brush sequence, thick vertical reflections of a pale lavender and mint-green sky glide fluidly through deep teal water tracks, punctuated by a striking, non-figurative crimson boat vector.
