'A Brighton Chippy' - painted in oils on smooth cradled board, ready to hang.
2023.
11x14 inches. Depth of 2cm.

A scene of a fish and chip shop in Brighton, as I was passing through. I like to play with composition to evoke the feeling of moving through a city at a pace. Here, the main focus perhaps should be the front of the chippy but instead I've shifted the focus to an nondescript side alley. I have more of a sense of reliving the atmosphere of the setting when a picture mirrors the speed of life, taking a peripheral glance at something and holding it briefly in your memory.
