Brain Shepherd finds true beauty in the urban landscape. “A love of urban architecture and an abiding interest in popular culture inspires much of my work.” In the true sense of the genre, Shepherd’s choice of colours and textures are very much dictated by the landscape he is painting – although his clever use of negative space encourages his use of black against light. Attracted to the popular tourist areas of London and New York his paintings remain uplifting and clean cut.
