Notes
Born in London in 1977, contemporary artist Alex Rennie has exhibited widely, both internationally and domestically, including a solo Cork Street show with Waterhouse & Dodd. His work has been selected for several competitions including the John Moores painting prize, the BP portrait prize exhibition at the National Portrait Gallery, the Lynn Painter-Stainers prize and the ING
Discerning eye exhibitions.
This piece is one of a group of paintings that feature the area where Rupert Street meets Brewer Street in Soho. Alex is continually drawn back to this unique area of London to describe the changing shapes and colours that swim in and out of focus. This painting is taken from sketches of Tisbury Court as it opens out onto Old Compton and Wardour Street.
