CITYSCAPES

Contemporary Cityscape Paintings

​

Cities are far more than skylines and architecture. They are places filled with movement, energy and memory.

Gill Storr's contemporary cityscape paintings are inspired by the atmosphere of cities she has experienced rather than simply observed. From the unmistakable energy of New York to the changing character of London and other cities around the world, each painting is built from lived experience rather than photographic reference.

​

Walking unfamiliar streets, watching changing light, absorbing the rhythm of everyday life and revisiting places over time all become part of Gill's creative process. Back in the studio these impressions are layered together through expressive mark-making, rich texture and atmospheric colour to create paintings that capture not simply what a city looks like, but how it feels.

​

Rather than documenting architecture, Gill's cityscapes invite viewers to reconnect with cities that have shaped their own memories, discovering new details each time they return to the painting.
