About the Item
This exceptional artwork is currently on display and available for sale at Signet Contemporary Art Gallery and online.
Sylvia Paul’s “Piccadilly People” is a captivating original painting that captures the dynamic energy of one of London’s most iconic landmarks, Piccadilly Circus. At the center of the composition stands the famous black statue of Eros, bustling with activity during the daytime. Surrounding Eros, people walk by, their movements brought to life through Paul's expressive abstract brushwork. This unique piece stands out in her collection, contrasting her typically tranquil depictions of natural environments.
The background features classic London white buildings and the vibrant red of double-decker buses, which frame the landmark and enhance the lively urban atmosphere. To the left, a road leads downwards, creating leading lines that draw the viewer’s eye deeper into the scene. At the end of the road, the silhouette of a cathedral adds a touch of grandeur and depth to the cityscape.
The color scheme of the painting is a harmonious blend of urban tones, with the blacks and grays of the statue and buildings complemented by the bright reds of the buses and subtle touches of color in the bustling crowd. This interplay of colors not only captures the essence of Piccadilly Circus but also highlights Paul’s ability to bring vibrancy to an urban setting.
Through her bold brushstrokes and dynamic textures, Paul infuses the scene with movement and vitality. The abstract brushwork adds to the sense of bustling activity, capturing the fleeting moments of city life in a way that is both vivid and impressionistic. Each element, from the detailed depiction of Eros to the abstract representation of the crowd, invites viewers to explore the painting and immerse themselves in its lively ambiance.
“Piccadilly People” is a unique addition to Sylvia Paul’s body of work, showcasing her versatility as an artist. While her landscapes and floral still-lifes often evoke a sense of tranquility, this piece captures the bustling energy of an urban environment, offering a fresh perspective and a testament to her creative range.
This captivating artwork is framed, signed by the artist, and ready to be displayed in any space seeking to evoke the vibrant spirit of city life. Whether hung in an office, living room, or gallery space, “Piccadilly People” is sure to inspire admiration and delight in all who behold it.
“Piccadilly People” is currently available for sale at Signet Contemporary Art in Chelsea, as well as online for art enthusiasts worldwide to acquire and cherish.

Sylvia Paul
Sylvia Paul’s oil paintings are worked using a knife in a free and expressive style. For her landscapes, she uses small pastel sketches done in the field, as her reference in the studio. The oils are painted on MDF board and framed with a contemporary stone white color frame. Landscape and still life are familiar subjects, but after visiting Japan Sylvia’s collages, in particular, are more abstract in style, and her memories are often her inspiration. Sylvia Paul studied painting at Colchester School of Art and Hockerill College of Education. The artist regularly exhibits in Japan and The Royal Academy Summer Exhibitions, UK. Other major exhibitions include The Pastel Society, The Royal Institute of Oil Painters, The Laing Landscape Exhibition and The Royal Institute of Water Colour Artists.
