London Bus: Open With Care (2020)Oil painting by Rebecca Coleman
35 x 41 x 2cm (framed)
£550Sold
Original artwork description
Introducing a series of paintings focusing in on details of historic London vehicles: highlighting subtle and perhaps overlooked aspects of their style and design.
This image is a celebration of line and texture: a view of an iconic double-decker bus in which its distinctive and dominant red colour is relegated to a corner. Instead, the focus is on its small London Transport badge, screwed to the front of the radiator.
This is, in fact, the front of an RT-type bus - a common sight on the capital's roads in the 1950s and 60s before the better-known Routemaster succeeded it. The radiator cap, grille and warning notice frame the badge, and the dents and discolourations of the passage of time are faithfully and affectionately represented.
Materials used:
Oil on linen board
Details:
- Oil painting on Panel / Board / MDF
- One of a kind artwork
- Size: 35 x 41 x 2cm (framed)
- Framed and ready to hang
- Signed on the front
- Style: Graphic, illustrative and typographic
- Subject: Transportation and maps
