at a glance

• Signed, original acrylic 
• 32” x 24" box canvas
• £1,165

Ideal for: Quiet, contemplative spaces, like a music rooms and home theatres. (Classy, European ones). The deep perspective of the waterway creates a 'mental horizon', offering a sense of escape that doesn't compete with the utility of the space. It's a sophisticated choice for a wall that requires a sense of travel and stillness.

With so much choice, it's hard to know where to start. I found Alex to be an indispensable agent, helping me navigate the art world to find (and curate!) the pieces I love.

in depth

A Chromatic Shift: The transition from the warm, sun-struck ambers of the architecture to the cool, near-black shadows of the water provides a powerful 'chromatic weight'. As your eye moves across the canvas, you can see how Jon uses dry-brushing to mimic the eroded texture of the Venetian brickwork, contrasting with the fluid, reflective glazes of the canal.

Spatial Logic: The receding perspective of the canal acts as a 'visual extension' of the room. By drawing the eye toward the distant, sunlit sliver at the end of the waterway, the piece 'pulls' the viewer into the frame, effectively deepening the space of a smaller room and providing a constant sense of depth.

The Material Record: The physical ridges of the acrylic give the gondola a distinct, three-dimensional presence. This tactile honesty ensures the work feels like a handcrafted object, where the physical application of paint is as important as the scene itself, rewarding those who view the piece from a side profile.
