Shanghai at Night

Name: Shanghai at Night
Brand: Kate Robotham

This painting depicts a night-time view of the Shanghai 'Bund', a waterfront area which is a protected historical district in central Shanghai.

I visited Shanghai in 2013 after exhibiting my paintings in an exhibition in a nearby city, Suzhou.

I was inspired by the amazing, vibrant colours of the cities at night, especially the reflections of lights on bodies of water at night.

This work is painted in a loose style with simple, expressive brushstrokes, which capture the flickering lights of a city at night and emphasise the contrasting colours.

As part of my working process, I immerse myself in nature, photographing what I find. I then use Photoshop as a means of sketching and experimenting with composition before finally using oil paint as an emotive and expressive vehicle to create the finished work.

I often use glaze medium to build translucency and depth of colour, resulting in luminous, jewel-bright colours and glossy highlights on key areas.
