Smoke and Smirch - Emma Tweedie

£2,400.00

London seen from Parliament Hill — the city reduced to a shimmering band of colour between dark earth and pale sky. The title references a poem about Hampstead written by William Wordsworth, grounding this contemporary urban landscape in literary history. The vast expanse of sky dominates, luminous with whites, greys and the faintest blush of pink, while below, the city pulses with coral, sage and teal — present but not insistent. Built up through multiple layers of fluid pigment washes, fibre paste, impasto and hand-made stencils, the surface has a quiet, textural depth that rewards close looking.
