London takes on an almost magical quality in City of Lights, an atmospheric original painting by Ben Wainwright. Looking across the Thames towards Tower Bridge and The Shard, Ben captures the city after dark in his distinctive monochrome palette. Tiny points of light illuminate the skyline and dance across the water, while the boat in the foreground draws the eye into the scene and gives the composition a wonderful sense of movement. Ben’s skilful handling of light and shadow transforms this familiar London view into something dramatic and cinematic. Detailed yet atmospheric, City of Lights celebrates the energy of the capital while retaining a beautiful sense of stillness — a striking contemporary cityscape that reveals more the longer you look.
