About This Image

One of the things I love about London is that it’s a city unafraid to be modern. Some cities with the amount of ancient landmark architecture that London has start trying to build to fit a theme. You might expect London City Hall to be some massive medieval building or perhaps a rambling Tudor design. I admit that I expected it to be some centuries old landmark but London City Hall is none of those things. In fact this piece of super modern architecture pictured here is, in fact, London City Hall.

This is the home to the Greater London Authority, opened in 2002, and designed by Norman Foster. I really love the unique design but from what I’ve read it’s one of those buildings you either love or loathe. It’s built in the modernist style that is known by a few different names – “High Tech architecture” or “Structural Expressionism” or “Late Modernism.” Whatever you call it, London is definitely a city not afraid to try new styles. There are more than handful of daring modern designs on the London skyline, and it would be interesting to jump forward in time to see which ones become iconic buildings destined to remain in London for centuries. Will the London City Hall be one of them?

This photo was taken on the south bank of the Thames. I spotted this quite modern staircase adjacent to London City Hall. I wandered over and looked up the railing, and I loved how the curving lines of the staircase led the eye to equally curvaceous structure of London City Hall. The way all the lines met up was just wonderful. And I love that even the clouds were working with me at this moment to frame the building in London print.

Are you also fond of the architecture of London City Hall? Or are you simply a fan of postmodern design? I’d love to hear what drew you to this specific London print!

How Can I Help?

At the end of the day, it’s important to me that you can put a face with the art you’re considering purchasing through my site. Aside from the print vendor who ultimately prints and ships your order, this is a one man show. The person who made the art is the same one who is typing this message and the one who will answer your questions if you drop me a note.

You are not a number and I care that you are happy with whatever art you might buy here. I’m here if you’d like to ask questions before or after purchasing. And I’m also happy to work with you where possible to customize the work you’re buying. Maybe you’d like a tweak to the shape of a print to fit in with your existing wall art. Or you’d like to add a little nod to someone special in it? Just ask! I also keep a running list of subjects I don’t currently have but people are seeking. So if you enjoy the style of my work but didn’t find quite what you were looking for, please do let me know.

I’ve been an artist for 15 years now and most of that time it’s been my full-time passion. And it matters to both the endorphins in my brain and the food I put on the table for me (and my cats) that you find the experience of purchasing the products offered here to be a pleasure.
