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.

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.

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.

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
