About the Item

"Trafalgar Square" by Richard Gower stands as a magnificent original cityscape painting, a testament to the artist's mastery in capturing the essence of one of London's most iconic locations. Executed with precision in oil on board and adorned with an expressive impressionistic style, this artwork invites viewers to immerse themselves in the grandeur of Trafalgar Square. At the heart of the composition, Trafalgar Square unfolds with timeless splendor. Gower's brushstrokes depict the majestic lions' statues guarding the square, each stroke capturing the strength and poise of these iconic sculptures. In the background, the regal silhouette of Big Ben emerges, providing a stunning contrast against the blue, white, and pastel tones that dominate the color palette. The artist's keen eye for detail is evident in the depiction of human figures that populate the square, engaged in various activities that contribute to the lively narrative. The play of light and shadow on the architectural elements creates a sense of depth, allowing the viewer to almost feel the sunlight dancing on the stone surfaces. Gower's signature graces the painting, serving as a mark of authenticity, and "Trafalgar Square" is ready to be showcased. Whether admired up close or from a distance, the painting transports viewers to the heart of London's cultural and historic hub, capturing the enduring spirit of the city. For those seeking to bring a piece of London's vibrancy into their collection, the artwork is available for purchase at Signet Contemporary Art in Chelsea and online. "Trafalgar Square" not only encapsulates a specific moment in the city's timeline but also invites viewers to appreciate the intersection of history, art, and everyday life in this iconic London landmark. Artist Biography: Richard Gower embarked on his artistic journey at Batley College of Art in the 1980s, specialising in fine art and sculpture. Gower has developed a distinctive style, particularly evident in his renowned ‘Reflections’ series, where his practice revolves around observation and chance. Adopting a voyeuristic approach, Gower skilfully captures the fleeting moments of strangers’ daily activities. Richard Gower’s distinctive, unique style has attracted a number of high-profile collectors includ- ing Her Late Majesty The Queen, The Duchess of York and The Lord Mayor of Westminster. Richard Gower’s works have found their place in numerous private collections across the UK, Europe, and the US. Richard Gower’s semi-abstracted, figurative compositions exude both serenity and intrigue, quietly beckoning viewers to construct narratives around the anonymous characters immortalized in oil paint. Gower’s ‘Reflections’ serve as snapshots, freeze frames of people from all walks of life, enabling him to engage in a sort of artistic people watching. Whether it be a sunny day casting shadows or the aftermath of a storm with reflections in a path, his works encapsulate moments frozen in time. Drawing inspiration from the Modern Masters, including Monet, Van Gogh, Picasso, Sickert, and Francis Bacon, Gower’s fascination with these great painters has pushed the boundaries of his creativity and refined his personal ‘Reflections’ style over the years. Richard Gower’s artistic prowess and ability to capture the essence of human experiences through his ‘Reflections’ series have solidified his position as an acclaimed artist.
