About The Artwork
‘Gran Via, Watlington’ was completed, after six month’s work, in mid-July 2015. We moved to Watlington in August 2014, having lived for many years at Christmas Common in the nearby Chiltern Hills. It was the first work completed since the move. One result of moving was to discover an elevated view of one of Watlington’s main thoroughfares, the High Street, an aspect I’d never seen before. The view cried out to be painted. The painting was submitted to, and rejected by, the jury of the 2015 Royal Academy Summer Exhibition. The title, ‘Gran Via, Watlington’, is in homage to the celebrated Spanish painter, Antonio López García, whose painting, ‘Gran Via, Madrid’, is world famous. NB: Though described on this site as 'acrylic on wood', this work is actually painted in acrylic on a gessoed panel. The panel is made of hardboard, known in the US as Masonite.

United Kingdom
I paint industrial architecture, townscapes, landscapes, portraits and still life. Many pictures are based on London buildings, some of which - most of which come to think of it - have since been demolished, though not as a direct result of depiction. My interest in industrial architecture stems from the fact that I used to paint outdoors, in front of the scene itself. One of the few places you could do this without being disturbed was on derelict industrial wasteland - brown field sites as they're now called. If you paint in public places passers-by constantly interrupt. They look over your shoulder at what you're doing and say things like: 'My Nigel draws....'
