A closer look at the work

A large pink light circle hovers above dark rising building silhouettes. Its white centre lies beside a narrow tower entering the circle. Deep turquoise ground remains nearly featureless. Buildings gather below while the circle claims almost the frame's full width.

Light diminishes architectural scale without supplying a reliable measure. Curvature opposes angular silhouettes, brightness their closure. The eye tries to locate the appearance among sky, light and photographic surface. That uncertainty sustains the picture: familiar urban legibility is temporarily displaced by an optical form.

Personal consultation

The work, the space, the presentation.

What interests you about this work? I take time for your questions, its origins and its place in a collection. Together, we explore differences between works and their relationship with space, light and architecture.

Size, selected materials and bespoke framing are carefully coordinated. The precise presentation develops through our conversation.

A photograph of the intended space can help us consider scale and placement.
