A PEEK AT PARIS THROUGH THE EYES OF A LONDONER

I’ve always found that London and Paris are primarily tonal rather than colourful cities. Their light qualities vary only subtly (especially in Autumn and Winter) and so it’s their unique architectural and arboreal textures which create their distinct feels and hugely different respective characters. Firstly, here are a handful of digital “gouaches” of the French capital to illustrate what I mean…London to follow shortly…

But do be sure to look beyond the sublimely painted edifice and brickwork to the four characters who inhabit the canvas. The house, for all it’s glory is merely the device, and that’s the point and the joy and the thrill of Vermeer – more than any artist before or since – sorting out his devices from his themes. This is what I’ve tried to bear in mind when making the images presented here…
