About the Item

This exceptional artwork is currently on display and available for sale at Signet Contemporary Art Gallery and online. In Late Sun, Albert Bridge, Alex Rennie beautifully captures the quiet grandeur of London’s Albert Bridge at dusk. Painted in oil on linen, the scene glows with the warmth of the setting sun, casting a molten reflection over the Thames. The composition is framed by silhouetted tree branches on the left and the shadowed bank in the foreground, anchoring the viewer in a moment of stillness before night falls. Rennie’s impressionistic style is evident in his loose, expressive brushstrokes that favour atmosphere over precision. The architectural details of the bridge are softened by the golden light, giving the structure a dreamlike elegance. Light and shadow interact in sweeping gradients, adding a sense of movement to the calm river below. The sun itself, peeking just above the horizon, feels like the final punctuation mark to a long day. The palette is rich in ochres, siennas, and warm greys, touched with dusky purples and burnt orange. It’s a painting that hums with serenity, offering a romanticised yet grounded view of London’s riverside. Through restrained brushwork and masterful control of light, Rennie invites the viewer to pause—to take in not just a place, but a feeling. Artist Biography: Born in London in 1977, Alex Rennie is a contemporary artist specializing in oil painting, working across a diverse range of styles from urban realism to geometric abstraction. Over his 24-year career, Rennie has been dedicated to painting his home city, London, capturing its ever-changing skyline, dynamic streets, and reflective waterways. The city’s constant construction and regeneration serve as endless inspiration, offering new structures and shifting light effects that evolve from minute to minute and season to season. Following in the footsteps of masters like Turner, Monet, and Canaletto, Rennie narrows his focus to specific streets and stretches of water, exploring their changing atmospheres and shifting dynamics. Whether sketching from dizzying viewing platforms, riverbeds at low tide, or along the Thames Path, his work reflects a deep obsession with capturing fleeting light at dawn and dusk. Rennie studied Fine Art Painting (BA Hons) at Cheltenham and Gloucester College of Higher Education (1997–2000) after completing a BTEC Foundation in Art and Design at Wimbledon School of Art (1996–1997). His work has been widely exhibited both internationally and domestically, including a solo exhibition on Cork Street with Waterhouse & Dodd. His paintings have been selected for prestigious competitions, including: John Moores Painting Prize BP Portrait Prize Exhibition at the National Portrait Gallery Lynn Painter-Stainers Prize ING Discerning Eye Exhibitions Explore the captivating cityscape paintings by renowned artist Alex Rennie, available for sale online & exclusively at Signet Contemporary Art.

Whether you’re looking to enhance your personal art collection or bring a striking piece of city life into your home, you can experience the beauty of Rennie’s paintings through our online gallery or visit us in person. “Over my 24 year career, I’ve been painting my home city of London. The capital has always been of great inspiration to me and I’ve been charting the ever-changing skyline over many paintings. The constant construction and regeneration provides new edifices to reflect the myriad light effects which change from minute to minute and season to season. In the footsteps of greats such as Turner, Monet and Canaletto, I have narrowed my focus on particular streets and stretches of water to truly explore the changing atmospheres and shifting dynamics. I can be found up on the dizzying viewing platforms, down on the riverbed at low tide with the mudlarks or pacing the Thames path with a sketchbook in hand. Capturing the fleeting light at dawn and dusk is my endless obsession.”- Alex Rennie
