In Afternoon Shadows, David Farren focuses on the interplay of sunlight and silhouette along the Thames. Painted in acrylic on board, this impressionist cityscape distils the energy of London into a study of contrast and movement. Figures gather along the riverside railings, their forms simplified yet expressive, unified by the long, dramatic shadows cast across the glowing pavement.
The palette is rich with warm ambers and golden hues, offset by deep ultramarine and cool indigo tones in the shaded areas. The sky carries soft pinks and muted oranges, hinting at the fading afternoon light. Farren’s textured brushwork allows colour to vibrate across the surface, creating a lively, almost musical rhythm within the composition.
This is an original acrylic on board painting and is available for sale at Signet Contemporary Art and online. Afternoon Shadows demonstrates Farren’s ability to transform a fleeting moment of light into a timeless and atmospheric urban scene.
