London Brexit Time Painting

This painting is based on photographs that I took from different rooftops in London. I am fascinated by the sprawling views from rooftops and architectural details. The title London Brexit Time is a refrence to the time that I took the photos, and some press clippings that are interwoven in the painting. In this piece there are multiple layers of my own photographs, painted details, hand drawn architecture, and pieces of collage, and a handwritten poem which is hidden under layers. I combined photos, painting, and collaged texts from found magazines and newspapers. The overall effect is very much a "mosaic" showing the city's optical density. In this case the color palette is restrained, black, white and ombre tones.
