‘Iconic London’ 2024

For my summative piece ‘Iconic London’ 2024 I wanted to create my own landscape which combined four iconic London buildings that I have visited (Buckingham Palace, Royal Albert Hall, The Shard, and Big Ben) with similar trees and bushes from my series ‘London’s Psychological Landscape’. Furthermore, I merged The Shard and Big Ben to link to my previous work ‘Building on Mixed Emotions’. Black represented power, red symbolised feelings of excitement, blue represented calmness, and yellow represented happiness.

Having the outline of famous architecture with only a small amount of detail allowed the viewer to focus more on interpreting the emotional meaning of the painting through my use of different colours instead of being distracted by too much structural detail. In addition, my overall use of soft colours linked well to colour psychology as it reflected the fact that variations in psychological states can be quite subtle. 


The above images show me experimenting with different compositions and ideas for my summative piece. I wanted to do the buildings mainly in black and white to link to my previous work ‘Building on Mixed Emotion’ and to incorporate red and blue to link with ‘London’s Psychological Landscape’.
