This electric urban scene showcases Brown's masterful command of Impressionist and Fauvist influences. The artwork captures Times Square's iconic energy rendered in vibrant pinks and blues, with towering billboards and neon signs creating a canyon of light while yellow taxis navigate the reflective streets below.
Drawing from his background as a professional visualizer, Brown's distinctive style is evident in his energetic brushwork and bold palette. Each dynamic stroke contributes to the painting's sense of movement and energy, creating a piece that perfectly captures the pulsing heart of Manhattan through his characteristic emphasis on color and urban life.
About The Artist
Colin Brown is a British artist whose vibrant street scenes capture the energy and atmosphere of urban life worldwide. After graduating from Canterbury College of Art, he spent 24 years as a successful illustrator-visualizer, working with major brands including Hasbro, Mattel, and Cadbury's, as well as contributing to The Guinness Book of Records.
Drawing inspiration from Impressionism and Fauvism, Brown's distinctive style emerges from his background in visualization. His loose, expressive brushwork emphasizes light and movement, with each deliberate stroke contributing to the overall composition. Like his greatest influence Monet, Brown believes in the power of individual brushstrokes to create dynamic, atmospheric scenes.
Now focused on fine art, Brown specializes in street scenes that capture fleeting moments in time. His work deliberately avoids excessive detail, instead prioritizing the creation of mood and atmosphere. Alongside his painting practice, he shares his expertise through workshops and live demonstrations, while also accepting commissions through Buckingham Fine Art.
