Boulevard Boules by Tom Butler

With the Eiffel Tower spreading outwards and ever upwards, dominating the distant horizon there’s no mistaking which romantic, artistic and culturally-blessed European capital provides the illustrative backdrop to the brand new Summer 2015 release by the much-heralded new contemporary cityscape exponent, Tom Butler. Although Blackpool gives Paris a close run for its money, naturally. This hand-embellished limited edition – which helps mark the various talked-up Butler’s debut professional portfolio – is entitled ‘Boulevard Boules’ and is available to order as of now.

This 24” x 24” board only pictorial representation of a magical Parisian perspective comes complete with Butler’s already in-demand signature for added value, and aside from visually comprising one of the world’s most famous and instantly recognizable landmarks in the distance also concentrates its considerable graphic efforts on the not inconsequential matter of a game of boules, pictured in the foreground. Altogether manifesting a must-have vista for any contemporary art-loving Francophile with a thing for sublimely crafted cityscapes for our money; or rather, theirs.
