Original artwork description:

This painting is a reworking of a larger painting from last year, I have made a smaller composition and changed the proportions of the canvas and added new figures. I was keen on the drama and included some of the figures created in the earlier work and have added a wider view to incorporate a lighter left hand side to the painting. The framework of the painting is around the idea of day and night, and about how people interact with each other within the context of a local community. The background views are of Lower Clapton in east London, based on observational drawings made over a number of years. The figures are developed from ink drawings based on found images of people, chosen because they resonate with my memories and feelings about events and people I know.
