Impressions of London by Alexander Millar

Every shade of blue is encompassed, embraced and fully utilised in Alexander Millars most recent illustrative piece observed here; and then some. The renowned and much trumpeted contemporary landscape and figurative artist has visually realised a famous vista of London that we have all been pricey too previously and instantly recognizable, yet on this illustratively intoxicating occasion are bathed in a sea of blues, reflecting initially from the surface of a River Thames that looks more Cote DâAzur than Isle of Dogs. Impressions of London sees Millar take a more Impressionistic view and panoramic perspective of the Palace of Westminster, cast in soothing, sobering hue and saturations that calm and temper any troubled souls. As is typical of Millar, the detail is intuitive and fleeting, mattering where its required most, whilst in other areas less pictorial feedback is the standard response.
