Putney Bridge and Putney Wharf, London
Acrylic on panel by Stephen Chaplin depicting Putney Bridge and Putney Wharf, London. 2002.
The painting depicts a landscape featuring a series of buildings with varying architectural styles. In the foreground there is an open space that would be the river Thames with Putney Bridge.
The middle ground features several buildings, including a tall tower. The buildings are painted in blues, whites, and hints of red. The sky is largely white with minimal blue tones.
There are lines of text all thorough the painting: On the left side, text reads “October 20 - December 1,” followed by “2002” below it. Adjacent to this text is more text stating “paintings + drawings by Stephen Chaplin.” To the right "Courthouse" appears on top of the bridge.
The left edge has a series of black dots resembling perforations or markings, suggesting this image might be part of a larger piece or collection.
This painting serves both as an artwork and an announcement for an art exhibition by Stephen Chaplin.
