About the Item
"Frith Street, Rain" by Jonathan Stewardson is a captivating original cityscape painting that beautifully captures the essence of London in the rain. Through the lens of contemporary impressionism, Stewardson brings to life the bustling energy and iconic architecture of Frith Street, London, during a rainy day.
The painting is alive with earthy tones, with accents of yellow and red representing the vibrant reflections of light dancing off the wet pavements and glistening shopfronts. Against this backdrop, the viewer is transported into the heart of the city, where a lone figure walks with an umbrella, navigating the rain-soaked streets.
Stewardson's brushwork delicately captures the mood and atmosphere of the scene, with soft, blurred edges evoking the sensation of rainfall. The iconic London bus adds a touch of familiarity and nostalgia, while the architecture of Frith Street rises majestically in the background, its historic buildings illuminated by the glow of streetlights.
This original artwork is framed and signed by the artist, ready to be displayed and admired. It serves as a testament to Stewardson's mastery of contemporary impressionism and his ability to capture the fleeting beauty of everyday moments in the urban landscape.
"Frith Street, Rain" is available for sale at Signet Contemporary Art in Chelsea, as well as online, offering art enthusiasts the opportunity to bring a piece of London's vibrant energy and charm into their own living spaces.
Jonathan Stewerdson, born in London in 1963, emerged from humble beginnings to become a distinguished painter renowned for his evocative works and unique perspective on life. Raised predominantly in Essex, his formative years were marked by a deep connection to the arts and a natural talent for painting and drawing.
From the tender age of a toddler, Stewerdson found solace and joy in the act of creation, using his art as a means of expression and exploration. Despite this early affinity for painting, he made the unconventional decision to forego the traditional route of completing his schooling, opting instead to pursue a career as an artist.
In his twenties, Stewerdson navigated the complexities of life as both an artist and a builder, balancing the practical demands of earning a living with his unwavering dedication to his craft. It was a period of struggle and perseverance, but one that ultimately laid the groundwork for his future success.
For the past two decades, Stewerdson has devoted himself wholeheartedly to the art of painting, honing his skills and refining his distinctive style. Primarily working in oils, his paintings have been described as exemplifying 'Romantic Realism'—a label that resonates deeply with him.
Among his myriad subjects, Stewerdson's favourite to depict is the bustling city of London, a place teeming with history, diversity, and inspiration. His paintings often serve as poignant reflections of memories and emotions, capturing moments of solitude and introspection with unparalleled depth and sensitivity.
Notable for their emotive power and evocative storytelling, Stewerdson's works frequently explore themes of loneliness and human connection. Whether portraying the stark realities of urban life or the tranquil beauty of coastal landscapes, each painting is imbued with a profound sense of emotion and nostalgia.
Throughout his career, Stewerdson has had the honour of receiving commissions from esteemed clients such as the Crown Prince of Dubai and the King of Saudi Arabia, a testament to the universal appeal and impact of his art.

“I’m happy with that. Having covered many subjects over the years one of my favourites is London. My paintings are often an attempt to paint a memory. Whether rough sleeping in the city, or in better times on the coast, I’ve always painted with emotion. My pictures are often lonely. When there’re people, I sometimes like to be one of them. For example, I’m sitting at a table in Close Enough for Jazz (rain). Others may be people I once knew. ” - Jonathan Stewerdson
