About the Item
This exceptional artwork is currently on display and available for sale at Signet Contemporary Art Gallery and online. "Towards The City" by Sarah Fosse captures the dynamic essence of London's iconic skyline with a surreal twist. Created with acrylic on canvas, Fosse seamlessly blends surrealism with realism, inviting viewers to journey into a vibrant dreamscape of urban energy.
In this captivating cityscape, landmarks like St. Paul's Cathedral and the Gherkin tower proudly punctuate the skyline, their architectural grandeur rendered in vivid detail. But Fosse's interpretation adds a playful touch: London buses and iconic black cabs seem to sway in a surreal wavy movement, infusing the scene with a whimsical charm.
The color palette is as lively as the bustling city it portrays, with bold splashes of reds, blues, yellows, and greens dominating the canvas. These vibrant hues intermingle to create a captivating visual tapestry that celebrates the spirit of London's streets.

Artist biography:
Born in Liverpool and raised in Jersey in the Channel Islands, Sarah Fosse has been painting her entire life, inheriting her artistic ability from her mother, a professional artist. With extensive travel experience before settling in London in 2005, Fosse's work has been exhibited throughout Europe, including a recent sell-out solo show in London. Her paintings have gained recognition from The Wall Street Journal, Vogue, and the BBC, and her following includes private and corporate collectors across Europe, North America, Africa, Asia, and Australia.
Early influencers Derain and Matisse, coupled with a passion for Fauvism and Expressionism, are unmistakably conveyed through Fosse's bold, vibrant color palette and her unique deconstruction and distortion of the urban landscape. Living near water, whether coastal or river, has fueled her fascination with movement, reflections, and energy, inspiring her distinctive style. Working and residing in London, Fosse draws inspiration from her adopted home city and her travels, with cities like London, New York, Hong Kong, and Paris frequently featuring in her portfolio as favorite destinations.
