The Fires of Night, 2026

Oil on Canvas

80×80 cm

The Fires of Night is another piece from my Under Another Sun collection, launched in October 2026 and made in response to my Artist Residency in Jaipur, India at the start of the year.

This piece is imagined from the many bold, aged plants which decorated the city of Jaipur, in particular one I watched dance under the fireworks from a rooftop during the Kite Festival. The colours and lights from the little explosions across the sky reflected on the plant that sat on the side of the road, exaggerating the colours of the leaves and making it feel alive.

I painted the plant with layers of oils to build a surface that conveyed the light and feel of the leaves, creating a luminosity through the transparent pigments. The background, in contrast with the plant, is textured through multiple applications of thick paints, carved on with palette knives and layered with oxide pigments to replicate the cityscape.

The brown wooden frame picks elements of warmth from the piece.
