Two colours carrying the breadth of East London seen from Blackfriars Bridge — the restraint of the palette making the ambition of the composition more rather than less visible. The aerial view gives the city a geometric legibility that street level denies, the patterns of streets, water, parks and buildings resolving into something comprehensible from above. So This Is London is Clare Halifax's most panoramic statement piece. Halifax grew up in Frome near Bath and has been based in London long enough for the city to become her primary subject. 2 colours, hand-illustrated, signed. £995.
