“Autumn Sun, Southbank” by David Farren is a captivating impression of London’s Southbank drenched in golden light. The silhouette of the Houses of Parliament rises in the hazy distance, as afternoon sunlight filters through the tree canopy and splashes dappled shadows across the pavement. The figures walking the promenade are softly abstracted, their gestures loose, their presence fleeting—rendered in deep violet, indigo and warm umbers that echo the shifting palette of an autumnal afternoon.
The interplay of warm yellows and cool shadows forms a rich dialogue between light and space. Brushstrokes are brisk, expressive, and painterly, capturing not just the visual aspects of the scene but its atmosphere—the sense of a crisp breeze, distant murmurings of the Thames, and the hush of city life caught in a rare, golden lull. Light refracts across the composition in soft shards, bringing a dreamlike texture to an otherwise familiar urban setting.
There is a nostalgic quietude that pervades “Autumn Sun, Southbank”—a meditation on transition, change, and the simple rhythms of everyday life observed with deep tenderness. Farren invites the viewer not merely to see this place but to feel it; not to fix it in memory, but to surrender to the fleeting beauty of now.
Artist biography:
David Farren is a modern impressionist painter of street scenes and landscapes, concentrating on the effects of light.
David was born in Wiltshire and gained a reputation as a modern impressionist, using open brushwork and colour to represent the energy and movement of the landscape. He is fascinated by the changing light within a scene and how it determines the mood of a place at a particular time – be it a busy New York street or a quiet corner of France.
The Artist States: “The painting process begins with finding inspiration -walking the streets of New York or London with my sketchbook and camera, looking for interesting light and compositions. I’m often up before dawn so I can be in location for sunrise when there’s a strong contrast between the warmth of the sun, lighting up the edges of figures and cars, and the long cool shadows. I then take all the ideas and information back to my garden studio where I work from the sketches to create the finished painting”
David is currently working at his studio in South of France and exhibiting widely in leading galleries across the country. His paintings are held in private collections in the UK, France, USA and Ireland.
