ABOUT THE ARTWORK
3rd of mRowntree's watercolor series of Boston's Kenmore Square featuring the iconic Citgo sign. Same view of Kenmore Square from Beacon Street. But with a wild 'fauve' color palette that stops you in your tracks. The bright intensity of the color palette suits the extreme character of a giant 60' by 60' Citgo logo sign floating above the buildings of Kenmore Square -- it just fits. The picture has great energy -- from its exuberant brush strokes to the other-worldly hoodie runner crossing the street. This painting is a fun modern tribute to Boston. Part of every Boston University student's and Red Sox fan's collective subconscious, the Citgo sign is under threat of urban development again. All Rowntree's watercolors are titled and signed "mRowntree" in pencil beneath the artwork.

m Rowntree
United States
mRowntree fell in love with watercolor while studying art and design at Boston University's School of Fine Art. With the years his work has matured and today he demonstrates a confident style that recalls landscapes of his own favorite artists Winslow Homer and John Singer Sargent. His work often features architecture and industrial scenes that demonstrate his interest in engineering and urban-archaeology. He has a unique talent for identifying and exploring urban anachronisms like Boston's elevated expressway (now underground) and Kenmore Square's Citgo sign. Part of every Boston University student's and Red Sox fan's collective subconscious, the Citgo sign is under threat of urban development again. Rowntree will donate 10% of net sales from the Kenmore series to support the effort to protect the sign with 'Landmark' status. mRowntree's other work includes digital design and video.
