Manhattan Muse IV by Lucy du Sautoy presents a poetic interpretation of the New York skyline, where fragments of the city emerge through a veil of soft colour and reflection. Painted in oil on canvas, the work evokes the atmosphere of a rainy evening along the waterfront, with buildings glowing warmly through the mist.
Du Sautoy’s approach blends semi-realist cityscape painting with conceptual elements, allowing recognisable landmarks to appear through abstract shapes that resemble drips or fragments of paint. Within these forms, the skyline becomes sharply detailed, contrasting beautifully with the surrounding softness of the composition.
The colour palette balances cool blues and gentle mauves with warm golden tones that suggest city lights reflecting on water. The blurred horizon and delicate layering of colour create a sense of depth and calm movement across the canvas. Executed in oil on canvas, this original artwork reflects du Sautoy’s unique vision of contemporary urban landscapes. This original work is available for sale at Signet Contemporary Art and online.
