The View From Here by Richard Knight


I first saw this painting in a small gallery in Waterloo and thought it was beautiful and inspiring.  The painting shows the view above the London Eye, with a figure sitting on top of one of the pods looking out over the river Thames.  I like the way the artist has used lines to convey the excitement and energy of the city.  Also I think that the restrained use of colour and impressionistic detail works well.  It has an urban feel and reminds me of some street art that I have seen.
