National Theatre and Shard (brushed aluminium)
68 X 91 cm, edition of 25
The National Theatre on London's South Bank is one of the biggest inspirations for my art. Every time I walk past I notice new angles and shapes. The simple Brutalist block shapes lend themselves to my style of work.
The piece is created from an original photograph of one of my favourite views of the theatre, taken from Waterloo Bridge, with the Shard poking out in between the brutalist blocks. The image is digitally coloured by hand and printed directly onto super-thin brushed aluminium, which brings out the concrete texture, which contrasts nicely with the bright blue sky.
National Theatre and Shard is made to order. It can usually be created and delivered in around 10-14 days. An aluminium subframe on the back makes it simple to hang. Another edition of this piece is available using a variety of bold colours to show the building’s layers.
