Vanishing Figures on Chelsea Bridge

Chelsea Bridge dominates the painting, or rather, its pillar dominates. You can’t see the other three main pillars which support these giant cables. The rivets are on display in neat rows, each one of 1000s that has been painted with numerous layers, so that details are lost, their shape just perceptible. On this sunny day, they cast crisp shadows on the metal face.
