Contemporary artist Jayson Lilley works at the forefront of printmaking practices, incorporating painting and collage techniques into his process. His work is known for its urban and architectural focus reproducing iconic structures from the metropolis. His love of modernist, Art Deco and Brutalist architectural design is infectious, bleeding into his own work which is often stark and minimal, with strong impact stripped back palettes often concrete shades of grey complement bold compositional techniques ‘BPS’ depicts the iconic Battersea Power Station, rising up against the black night sky. Lilley has left a grainy photographic effect over the image, picking out the chimneys in creamy yellow. To create contrast, two construction cranes, poised symmetrically in front of the building, have been covered with soft gold leaf, for iridescent texture and tonality a beautiful touch to this celebration of the city.
