City Paintings

City Paintings by James Bartholomew

ORIGINAL PAINTINGS AVAILABLE TO BUY
Painting architecture in bustling cities is a sharp contrast to painting the shifting tide in a deserted cove! It takes a while to explore a city and to find its visual treasures which often hide well off the beaten track rather than in the obvious places. As with most subjects, it takes a happy meeting of different elements at the right time to make it a great subject. In New York, one of my favourite subjects has to be the view down an avenue, against the sun at the end of the day, with all the busy detail diffusing into a blue haze.

 

Venice is a place I regularly visit to paint being a perfect combination of all the elements I’m drawn to. Colourful crumbling render and rust surrounded by beautifully architectured shapes could hardly fail to produce an interesting subject. The unlikely green of the canals adds a further element. As always, I find it’s at its best when illuminated by strong sun, particularly very early in the morning or just before the sun disappears.

About James

“I am fascinated by the interplay between a subject and light and how changing weather can alter the essence of something so completely.”

Background

Since 1992, James has worked as a contemporary landscape and seascape painter. He has a strong reputation within the British contemporary art market and his recognisable, ‘loose and energetic’ style has gained widespread acclaim. Strong light and colour are often central to James’ paintings and dynamic viewpoints are a feature in many.
