Memories of Nautical London - Cubist Artwork

^ Click on Prints (next to where it says Original) to see the print prices ^ A long walk along the banks of the River Thames to see the Golden Hinde and the Tower of London was the inspiration for this picture. The architecture, river, bridges and city sights made the walk very interesting, and I wanted to capture a nautical theme with the ship, the old wharf buildings and sailing history. My picture attempts to capture the experience of the walk and its many sights by using a cubist composition of several views, much like you would in real life. My artwork explores the cross-overs between photography, collage, digital art and cubist paintings as a way of capturing memories and imagination. The pictures are created using a pen and ink style digitally, based upon my own photographs, and are printed with high-definition inks on stretched canvas. The rectangular grid structure was chosen to reflect the angular shapes of the city buildings. The ship is at an angle to reflect the unstable nature of the water. The bright colour scheme was chosen to bring an energetic element into the picture representing a vibrant trading city life. Impressionist principles like abstraction, false colour and a line and ink style were used to help the viewer imagine the scene, rather than pictorial realism characteristic of traditional photographs.
