Embrace the vibrant essence of Dundee with this striking abstract piece, an amalgamation of bold colours and dynamic strokes that evokes the spirit and architecture of this Tayside city. The lively montage of chromatic segments merges into an effervescent urban landscape, with textured patches of cerulean, vivid yellows, deep oranges, and calming whites. Here, the mingling and overlapping hues are reminiscent of the city’s eclectic structures, imitating the rooftops and surfaces, while the vertical points symbolise the iconic spires and historical monuments dotting the city's skyline.
The delicate balance of warm and cool tones in the upper portion alludes to the changing skies, where streaks of cream and pastel blues are contrasted by deeper blues and dusk-toned accents, capturing the interplay of natural light over Dundee. The addition of a striated band below the sky gives a sense of the vast waters of the River Tay that sweeps by the city, providing a horizontal counterbalance to the verticality of the buildings and silhouettes.
This piece from our 'Scottish Cities' collection offers a contemporary lens through which the essence of Dundee is perceived, providing a statement piece that would stand out on any wall. The fluidity of the abstract form allows for a unique interpretation, as each onlooker is invited to find their personal connection with the visual narrative embodied within this enchanting composition.
