Bright Lights, Big City

Neil Dawson, a graduate of London’s Central St Martin’s School of Art says that it was only after a career in banking and an extended period travelling that he finally returned to art: “I dusted off the palette and paints in an attempt to recapture some of the sights and feelings from my time abroad. I quickly realised how much I had missed creating art and have not looked back since.”

The unique style of these superb cityscapes capture the trademark symbols of life in the city perfectly, oozing energy and life through the hustle and bustle of the city.

Using photographic references Dawson likes to work fast and intuitively never staring at a blank canvas and finds the early stages of a painting the most exciting and creative with most of his ideas coming from what’s around him- the city, its compositions and colours.

Neil Dawson’s originals are reproduced as limited editions and are almost like for like of his original pieces. Two new editions of only 395 copies- usually canvas on board, have been created for a winter release in a smaller format of 12″ x 14″.

These fantastic editions portray the typical London night with it’s shiny wet streets, glistening red buses and the headlights of black taxis in his distinctive and unique style.

For the first time ever these pieces are available in a mounted and framed version unlike his previous editions which have all been canvas on boards and in larger sizes.
