City of London, Bank, King William St with Red Bus and Ornate Gate. I took my photograph just outside Bank Station. It's sometimes a challenge to work with a darker solid background however red white and blue the Union Flag and UK icons were the key elements in my head providing just the right amount of only slightly subversive energy for light and shadow. There is a lot of history in this area of London... well, where isn't there?
Downtown Toronto - King and Bay Downtown Toronto on a Winter Night full of lights and energy. watercolour on canvas or metal or acrylic, where I transform the angular and rather unyielding glass and steel towers into an impressionistic story. Making magic with painting and lights. For as long as I can remember I've wanted to paint the urban cityscape like an impressionist's dream. If you used to work in the downtown, enjoy my rendition.
Enjoy my rendition of a street in Lincoln's Inn Fields with this stunning architecture and lamp post.
Red Telephone Boxes in London Humanity, shared, is wanting to be heard and understood. And so, at great risk, we artists create our art. I wanted to use the colour red and see how it came out with a minimal colour palette and to highlight the theme of connection and communication. It is so often underestimated how important are both of these and we ignore the messages at our peril. What better reminder than London's iconic and totally famous red telephone boxes to make an instant connection. This piece took several days to complete and has over 30 different layers and textures.
House on an English Street. Inverted reality.
Watercolour, grunge, texture and something ordinary all combine in a grunge and watercolour painting that brings quintessential London to life. My original photo was taken at Embankment Station while waiting for a group to go on a photo-walk exploring the wonderfully hidden back streets of London. Even though I am familiar with London, every time I explore it I find something different. I then transformed it into a painting, emphasizing the distinctive red white and blue London Underground - the Tube - colours. A reminder that wherever you happen to be in London, you just need to find a Tube station to get your bearings and to get home or to your next delightful discovery. This print is available as a canvas print and a framed print as well as metal and acrylic. Contact me for details.
Textured artwork starting with my photo of a walk by Regent's Canal on a late summer day.
Burlington Arcade, painterly. I loved creating this colourful rendition of the Burlington Arcade, one of London's oldest arcades. I took the photo from opposite on Piccadilly.
Continuing my Urban London Series this composition is called Closer - London Regency and is a photo artistic creation of London's Regent Street not far from Piccadilly Circus. As always I started with my photograph and chose the textures and blending to complement and show off the beautifully Regency architecture. So often today we walk along, looking down (usually at our devices) and never pause to deliberately look up. In pausing and looking up it's possible to see a completely different world, appreciating that every inch is telling a new and different story.
Russell Square, Memory page Collage. I applied a pencil sketch treatment to my photo of this street in Russell Square. I duplicated the photo several times and blended it with my with my background made from concrete and chalk textures, then added more artistic elements, digital brushwork, masks and old script. Every photo-artwork comes from and recalls a memory brought to life once more on the canvas, with plenty to see and contemplate. Check my store at http://nickyjamesonart.com for canvas and framed options for this wall art scene, as well as my other pieces.
I work hard at creating every single piece of art. Morning Dance was no different, except that it was one of those compositions that flowed... Once I built the background layers I knew exactly what I wanted to go where, and the trickiest part was going through my stash of materials to find just the right element... The architecture featured are buildings in Lincoln's Inn Fields, and if they seem a little bit odd, it's because I thought they were perfect candidates for some ever so subtle warp. What a joy to be able to create impressionistic art pieces like this! This will be available as a 24x24 canvas print and also framed and acrylic. You can view large here, or purchase from http://nickyjamesonart.com once it's up in the online store.
Artistic Collage composition I created as a tribute to Remembrance Day 2017.
Contemplation, alternate realities, the stars fall down. I had a lot of fun creating this piece, although it was hard deciding on a title. So it can be whatever you want. I began with a starry sky, distressed textures and then what better to have than a huge big moon, surrounded by falling stars where we can walk, in contemplation, in an alternate reality all of our own.
