London Phone Box Art Print – Big Ben At Night by Mark Tisdale.
This London phone box art print is a colorful reminder of London featuring both a classic British red telephone box as well as “Big Ben” rising into the night sky. Anyone who follows my work should know that I have something of a phone box obsession. I love them. There’s something about that classic design and the brilliant red that calls to me. I loved them from afar before I ever saw a London phone box in person back in 2004. That trip cemented my fondness for these now anachronistic telephone booths. And it grew from there as I roamed England, Scotland, and Cornwall over the travels to Britain that came afterward.
In my London art print, I’ve suspended reality for a moment. The only sign of life is the motion of lights from traffic passing along the street corner. It’s a snippet of time without obvious people which allows one to concentrate on the architecture of London as well as that brilliant Red London phone box and the towering presence of ‘Big Ben’ against a night sky. I’ve never experienced the streets of London devoid of people but it was fun concentrating on the cityscape.
I always like to add the disclaimer that I’m aware Big Ben is the great bell in the clock tower. In recent years the clock tower itself was named in honor of Queen Elizabeth II, but ask the average person the world over and they’ll say that’s Big Ben! So this particular Anglophile yields to convention simply so that people searching on the internet may find and enjoy my artwork!
