Thames Summer III is a contemporary mixed media piece that explores colour as a carrier of atmosphere at the height of summer on the River Thames. As part of a series of three related works, it shifts attention toward intensity, where heat, light and reflection combine to create a vivid, immersive visual experience.

Bright, saturated reds, yellows and blues emerge against deeper tones, suggesting sunlight striking water, surfaces and passing forms. The composition is less about structure and more about sensation, capturing the density of colour and light that defines high summer. Collage and mixed media processes build a layered surface that feels both luminous and compressed, echoing the way reflections and activity converge on the river.

Small in scale but visually impactful, the work offers a concentrated burst of colour, making it ideal for intimate spaces or as part of a curated grouping. Its vibrancy and abstract language allow it to bring energy and atmosphere to both residential interiors and contemporary commercial environments.
