Crossing The Thames frames London at its most iconic, a bridge carrying figures and red buses across the river toward landmark silhouettes on the far bank. Nigel Cooke works the scene in mixed media on canvas, his dripped, layered texture pooling in the water and softening the skyline into a glow. The Thames becomes the spine of the picture, carrying the eye from one side of the city to the other.Cooke's feel for London's restless flow grew out of an unusual career — Merchant Navy, then years as a world-travelling caricaturist, before cityscapes made his name. Born in Mirfield, Yorkshire, he is now one of the UK's most collected painters of the urban scene, instantly known by his textured, intricate hand.
