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. ‘Battersea Pink’ depicts the iconic Battersea Power station, rising up against the sky. Capturing the Pop Art aesthetic of Patrick Caulfield or David Hockney, Lilley has rendered the structure in a simple palette of charcoal grey and off white, setting it against a flat, bubblegum pink coloured sky, for high visual impact.
