John Virtue

 

I have looked at a number of John Virtues pieces of work and I find them very interesting. He is well known for his pieces on the London Skyline, but he specialises in any landscapes. He only works in black and white, ink and paint, as he thinks that colour is an unnecessary distraction. Personally I like the fact that there is no colour to his pieces as this makes it look more edgy and gothic, this portraying what London might have looked like many years ago.
