Monument
Oil on linen
I grew up in the country, which people like to romanticise, especially in landscape paintings. But to me, city rooftops shimmer with opportunities that don’t exist back home. Our real lives are very urban, and I think honest paintings reflect–and maybe even celebrate–that. ‘Monument’ delights in the way the urban and natural worlds entwine in our cities and our lives.
