Sunset from Wallingford Bridge is a contemporary abstract painting inspired by the River Thames at the moment when water and light align to create near-perfect reflection. In rare conditions, the river becomes glass-like — its surface so still that the boundary between what is above and what is below begins to dissolve.

Working in deep reds, muted blues and flashes of mustard yellow, the composition explores this visual ambiguity. Layered acrylic and collage build a surface that shifts between solidity and reflection, suggesting an inverted landscape that feels as real as the one it mirrors. Colour deepens as if held in evening light, while forms hover between structure and illusion.

The painting is designed to hold attention quietly, offering depth and subtle movement rather than overt narrative. Its rich palette and reflective qualities make it particularly suited to contemporary interiors, from private collections to commercial spaces where atmosphere, light and material presence are carefully considered.
