Battersea in Transition is a London power station art print by London artist Paola Minekov. The famous white chimneys and warm brick of Battersea Power Station rise through sweeping diagonals of blue, turquoise and yellow, painted while the building was being transformed.
“When I paint the cities I’ve lived in, I do so from memory and a few rather vague sketches. I’m not looking for realism but for that spark which inspires me to return to a place, in my mind, again and again. I let my impressions take over and turn into abstractions until the picture I see when I close my eyes is clear and distinctly mine. Then I transfer it to the canvas.” Paola Minekov
The bright, geometric palette makes this London wall art a natural fit for a modern living room, office or kitchen, and a great gift for anyone who lives in or loves South London.
