About the Item
This exceptional artwork is currently on display and available for sale at Signet Contemporary Art Gallery and online.
In "A View of Big Ben," Richard Gower delivers a captivating perspective of one of London's most iconic landmarks, offering viewers a direct view from across the Thames. This oil on canvas painting is a symphony of colors and contrasts, where the cool tones of the river and silhouetted architecture meet the vibrant, warm hues of the sky. Gower’s use of color is particularly striking; the sky is a blend of exciting pinks, oranges, and blues that dance together to create a sense of movement and texture. The water below mirrors this dynamic palette, enhancing the overall atmosphere of the scene.
The composition is anchored by the commanding presence of Big Ben, which stands at the center of the canvas. Its iconic clock face glows with a yellow light, drawing the viewer's attention and serving as a focal point amidst the surrounding hues. The bridge to the right, silhouetted in deep tones, stretches across the canvas, guiding the eye upwards and adding a sense of scale to the scene. Gower’s brushwork here is subtle yet expressive, capturing the delicate interplay of light on the water and the sky while maintaining the solid, shadowed forms of the architecture.
"A View of Big Ben" is more than just a depiction of a famous landmark; it’s an exploration of London’s ever-changing atmosphere. The contrast between the dark silhouettes and the vibrant sky creates a narrative of harmony and tension, capturing the essence of the city as a place where history and modern life coexist. The painting invites viewers to reflect on the beauty of London’s skyline, offering a moment of quiet contemplation amidst the city’s constant motion.
For those seeking to bring a piece of London’s Chelsea charm into their lives, "A View of Big Ben" is available for purchase at Signet Contemporary Art in Chelsea and online. This artwork not only captures a moment in time but also invites viewers to immerse themselves in the spirited and cosmopolitan atmosphere of a beloved London neighborhood.
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.
