Little London, Oxford Street From Above

26 x 18 x 5 cm, edition of 30

From my Little London collection: ‘Celebrate the Big Smoke with a little piece of art.’

I am constantly looking for new and unusual angles for my work. The image for this piece was created from a photograph taken while hanging out of a helicopter with the doors off. I asked the pilot to hover as long as he was allowed, until the iconic red buses were spread evenly throughout the image.

The image, including the buses and taxis are digitally coloured by hand. The crowds of people, looking like tiny ants, are represented by dabs of strong colours. London at its vibrant bustling best.

The image is printed on a small sheet of brushed aluminum, which gives it an etched effect and floated in a hand-painted waxed wood frame.

Little London, Oxford Circus From Above  is made to order. It can usually be made in around two weeks.
