Borough Market Original Art by Chris Bourne

Mixed Media Painting
Framed: 90cm x 90cm
 
This dynamic urban scene showcases Brown's masterful command of Impressionist and Fauvist influences. The artwork captures London's historic Borough Market in a whirlwind of energetic brushstrokes, with the distinctive market architecture rendered in rich reds and browns while figures move through the space beneath a dramatically painted turquoise sky.
 
Drawing from his background as a professional visualizer, Brown's distinctive style is evident in his loose, expressive technique. Each deliberate stroke contributes to the painting's kinetic energy, creating a piece that perfectly captures the bustling atmosphere of this iconic London landmark through his characteristic emphasis on light and movement.
