Pier Painting

In this piece, a lone pier stands against a mighty expanse of vivid colour spread across the sea and sky. A moment on the seaside is taken to an ethereal atmosphere where the sky provides an unending pastel spectrum, the setting Sun being the source of this brilliance. Similarly to the predecessor painting 'Brighton West', here a reflection of the sky's palette is interrupted by a single breaking wave and the pier itself. Each canvas is made of a heavyweight cross laminated timber frame to prevent warping or twisting, with a high quality canvas fabric hand stretched over it. The canvas was primed once stretching was complete to ensure a uniform finish and to prevent cracking. The final pieces are painted with a mixture of artist quality Golden and Liquitex acrylic paints. A subtle signature is visible in the bottom right corner of the right canvas, each canvas is also stamped on the reverse. The painting is a diptych comprising two separate canvases and is intended to be hung on a wall, with a 5cm gap between each canvas, the dimensions of the individual pieces are as follow (from left to right): 9.8" x 35.4" / 13.8" x 35.4" 25 x 90cm / 35 x 90cm
