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. ‘Chimneys Red Orange’ depicts two of Battersea Power Station’s iconic chimneys, rising up against the sky. Striking in its minimalism, Lilley has captured the structural motif, instantly recognisable through the careful interplay of light and shade, while the expanse of sky has been covered with a block of flat, orange colour, for a distinctly Pop Art aesthetic.
