LONDON BRIDGE TO SHOOTER'S HILL
LONDON BRIDGE TO SHOOTER'S HILL 107cm x 200cm Acrylic on Board
Located from the mid-point of the Shard, London Bridge to Shooter’s Hill reveals the grand as well as incidental scenes of London bathed in the clean light of passing showers.
Part autobiographical, the painting shows the rail link the artist often took between central London and the vast 30’s suburbs beyond the distant Shooter’s Hill where he was raised as a boy and later worked as a minicab driver. In the 80's he had a studio on the riverside curve in Metropolitan Wharf Wapping, in what was once London’s main artist quarter.
