About the Item

This exceptional artwork is currently on display and available for sale at Signet Contemporary Art Gallery and online. In "A Misty Evening," Shazia Imran captures the serene beauty of a rain-soaked London, transforming the iconic Big Ben and its surroundings into a poetic scene of atmospheric charm. The painting, executed in oil on canvas, conveys a dreamlike mist enveloping a bustling cityscape, where the glow of streetlights merges with reflections on the rain-slick pavement. Imran’s delicate brushwork imbues the city with a soft luminescence, contrasting the vivid reds of a double-decker bus and figures' umbrellas with the muted, ethereal blues and greys of the evening. The artist’s skilled interplay of light and shadow creates a symphony of movement and stillness. The figures, painted with impressionistic anonymity, evoke a sense of shared solitude as they navigate the reflective streets. Their posture and movement speak to the contemplative mood of an urban setting transformed by rain. The soft blur of surrounding architecture, seen through the atmospheric mist, creates a sense of timelessness, inviting viewers to immerse themselves in the tranquil beauty of the moment. Imran’s work masterfully balances realism with abstraction, making this piece universally relatable yet deeply personal. It is a testament to the artist’s ability to find harmony in urban chaos, creating a contemplative pause amidst the vibrancy of city life. This original artwork is a captivating addition to any collection, inviting its audience to experience London’s ever-changing beauty through a fresh, emotive lens. Now available for purchase at Signet Contemporary Art in Chelsea and online. Artist bio: With over 29 years of experience in the creative arts, Sydney-based artist and sculptor Shazia Imran is celebrated for her expressive mixed media pieces. Her distinctive work has earned her numerous accolades, including the prestigious Lorenzo il Magnifico Award at the Florence Biennale (2015), the Applied Arts Award at the London Biennale (2017), the Most Collectible Artist Award at the Shenzhen City Art Fair, First Prize at the 2018 Chianciano Biennale, and the 2nd Prize International Confederation of Art Critics Award at the 2019 London Biennale. Additionally, she has received multiple national awards in Australia. Shazia’s art has been exhibited globally and features in public and private collections across Australia, the USA, the UK, Switzerland, Denmark, Italy, Canada, Dubai, Hong Kong, Macau, Thailand, China, Japan, and Singapore. One of her career highlights includes a significant commission for VIP accommodations, The Mansion, at the MGM Hotel in Macau. Her works are also held in the collection of Rajamangala University, Thailand, and by His Highness Sheikh Juma Bin Ahmed Bin Juma Al Maktoum. Internationally, her work is sought after as an investment, particularly in Hong Kong and Singapore. Shazia graduated with Distinction from the National College of Arts (NCA) Lahore in 1994 and later completed a Master of Design in Digital Media from the University of Western Sydney (UWS) in 2004. She has also undertaken additional courses at the National Art School (NAS) and UNSW in Sydney. Her career spans diverse creative fields, including digital strategy development, website and intranet content management in the NSW Government sector, e-commerce marketing, advertising, and promotions in multinational agencies. Despite a successful corporate career, Shazia’s passion for art remained unwavering, leading her to pivot toward professional artistry after an invitation to the New York Art Expo in 2013. This pivotal moment launched a series of successful international shows. Today, Shazia owns a studio and gallery in The Rocks, a historic precinct in Sydney near the Opera House and Harbour Bridge. She is the first female artist to establish a personal gallery in this iconic location, surrounded by acclaimed Australian artists. Shazia’s work is inspired by her travels, where she explores the infinite expressiveness of her subjects through collage, acrylics, and mixed media. Her compositions integrate monograms and fine-printed paper from various cultural traditions, layered atop expressionist painting foundations. These vibrant, overlapping elements evoke dreamscapes, memories, and unity, meticulously crafted with textiles and collage. Her art resonates with themes of identity, urban landscapes, and cultural connection, offering a profound and multifaceted visual experience.

Experience their captivating beauty from the comfort of your home, or visit our London gallery to view these exceptional works in person. “Art and design is something I’m very passionate about. Use of colour, shape, texture and light defines my style in capturing the personality and emotions of the subject. My inspiration and influence comes from everything I see, feel and experience around me. The delicately multilayered paintings I create, explore the connections between landscape, memory and the subconscious through texture and the interplay of light and dark, creating an atmosphere that opens itself up to multiple meanings. My recent body of work is based on the mandala – representing the wholeness and unity of mankind. Representing the universe itself, the mandala is both microcosm and macrocosm and we all are part of it. No matter what region, race or religion we belong to, we are all same we are all humans.”- Shazia Imran

Evening Rain, Oil Painting
By Faye Vander Veer
Located in San Francisco, CA

Artist Comments
Artist Faye Vander Veer depicts a cozy rainy evening in the city. "You can almost hear the sound of the tires as the traffic moves along the wet pavement," says Faye. Drizzly street scenes are among her favorite subjects to portray. She paints reflected headlights and other ambient lighting to give a feeling of warmth and calm.


About the Artist
Artist Faye Vander Veer seeks out moments with engaging narratives and captures them with an impressionist style. Her dramatic use of color, texture, light and shadow lend a glowing quality, creating an energy all their own. While using her own photographs as a general reference, it is her sensory memory of the event and her emotional reaction that is conveyed on the canvas, causing the viewer to be transported to another time and place. “Painting becomes a language I use to express my emotional response to what is before me and share my experience of the subject with others,“ says Faye.
