About the Item

This exceptional artwork is currently on display and available for sale at Signet Contemporary Art Gallery and online. In Brewer Street, Soho, Jonathan Stewardson delivers an evocative portrayal of London's vibrant Soho district. Painted with oil on board, this cityscape immerses the viewer in the colorful reflections and bustling energy of the street at night. With a contemporary realism approach, Stewardson showcases the dynamic interplay of artificial lighting and rain-soaked streets, where neon signs and storefronts create a lively and inviting atmosphere. The color palette is rich and varied, with vibrant reds, pinks, and blues reflecting from the wet pavement. The warm golden hues of the streetlights contrast beautifully with the cooler tones of the shadowed buildings and the nighttime sky. The reflective quality of the rain-slicked street, combined with the vivid lights, captures the essence of Soho’s nightlife. The artist’s attention to detail is striking, with every gleam of light and surface texture rendered in a way that invites the viewer to almost step into the scene. Stewardson’s use of oil on board allows for intricate brushwork, capturing the fluidity and movement of the street while maintaining the sharpness of the reflections. The piece transports the viewer to a moment in time, suspended in the pulse of the city. It celebrates the energy and liveliness of Soho while evoking the quiet beauty found in its often-overlooked details. This painting is a stunning reflection of urban life, capturing both its chaotic beauty and its serene moments. Artist Biography: 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. As he continues to evolve and grow as an artist, Jonathan Stewerdson remains committed to painting with authenticity, passion, and emotion, creating works that resonate deeply with audiences around the world. For those drawn to the allure of cityscape painting, Jonathan's portfolio promises a journey into a world of imagination and wonder. His skilful brushwork captures the essence of urban life with unparalleled depth and sensitivity, inviting viewers to immerse themselves in the vibrant streets and bustling energy of London.

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
