I am pleased to say that my painting ‘East End Crossing’ has been selected for The New English Art Club’s Annual Open Exhibition at the Mall Galleries in Central London between 16 and 25 June 2016.
“Continuing to build on the tradition of painting and drawing from observation, the New English is a vibrant and diverse group of visual artists whose work is highly collectible and widely admired.”
About my painting
Click on the image to see it larger
London’s East End is, and always has been in a state of flux. Nothing remains the same for long, and this instability gives rise to contrasts.
It is the tension between the contrast that I have tried to capture in my painting. Namely, the lighter, upper levels of East End life, and a darker underworld just beneath the surface.
The painting is based on a crossing on Commercial Street in Spitalfields.

I have used that crossing so many times in the last three years – I knew it straight away! It heads towards the aptly name Fashion Street where a fashion school is located that I sometimes teach at. The pub is good (The Wellington)!
Great work Liam. Love how you capture dear old England in your work and wishing you continued success with your art.
Many thanks to you Dave. i will do my best.
