Object Description
“Westminster Walk II” by Jo Quigley is a striking example of contemporary impressionism, rendered in acrylic on canvas. This artwork offers a compelling glimpse into the vibrant life of Westminster, blending urban energy with artistic flair.
In this piece, Quigley skillfully captures the essence of London’s iconic landmarks—the silhouette of Big Ben and the London Eye—emerging gracefully across the river. The composition is enhanced by a thoughtfully chosen color scheme of blue, grey, and brown, which evokes the atmospheric charm of a bustling cityscape. The scene is alive with figures walking along the pavement, their forms rendered as silhouettes that suggest a narrative of daily life and movement.
The painting’s contemporary impressionist style is characterized by its loose brushwork and dynamic use of color, which together create a sense of depth and rhythm. The cool, muted tones of blue and grey contrast with the warm, earthy browns, adding both serenity and warmth to the urban setting. The artist’s choice of colors and composition invites viewers to pause and reflect on the intersection of modernity and tradition in one of London’s most famous locales.
“Westminster Walk II” not only celebrates the architectural splendor of Westminster but also captures the human element that animates the city. Each figure in the painting seems to tell its own story, contributing to the overall narrative of life in this historic and vibrant area.
