Framed Colorful Skyline Prints
One of the great iconic sites of any city is its skyline and you’d be surprised how many of us can recognise cities just by looking at their skylines. A cities skyline evokes all the thoughts and feelings that are associated with that city. A piece of framed colourful skyline wall art on your wall gives you a small portal into that city, conjuring up all of its associated imagery.
There is a diverse number of techniques used in capturing the essence of city skylines. Artists Karen Dupre, Alexandra Tava and Tom Reeves employ pastel colours in their impressions of city skylines. In Sun Light city, artist Tom Reeves portrays an imagined cityscape, displaying that not all framed colourful skyline art has to exist in the realms of the real. The city skyline has become deeply embedded within our imagined existences.
Other artists combine the iconography of the city skyline with that of other objects. In their art, Design Turnpike combine a city’s skyline with its state vehicle registration plates, creating framed colourful skyline artwork that has a welded iconography. Wedded together, you feel the city’s skyline slowly moving towards you upon the horizon, state number plates hanging off the back of the traffic.
Prolific in producing framed colourful skyline art peices, Marlene Watson has recreated city skylines as colourful silhouettes. Just below each of her bright-multi-coloured skylines sits a gleaming reflection of it, as if the whole thing were sat upon a vast crystal lake. Each one brings an ethereal quality to the otherwise harsh nature of the city.
