‘Urban Jungle’ is painted using oil and acrylic on canvas. It is a large painting on an artist’s high quality Windsor and Newton stretcher which is warp resistant.
 
The painting is made using large brushstrokes and the texture of the paint and brush marks are visible on the surface of the canvas. It is painted using a combination of oil and acrylic paint which gives it extreme vibrancy and shine in some areas. In some areas of the painting the oil pigment is fluorescent which gives intense strong colour.
 
 
In this new group of artworks by British artist Ruth Mulvie, we are transported to Venice Beach in Santa Monica, where the lush trees come alive in a vibrant symphony of turquoise and green.

Mulvie’s love of colour and contrast can be seen in this interplay of light and shadow. The canvas exudes a sense of serene luminosity, beautifully contrasting with the graffiti tags adorning the trees.

Venice iconography never grows old and whilst exploring the area in 2022 Mulvie collected a series images to explore and delve into in the studio. By putting the graffiti on the trees front and centre, we peer through the beach and feel the unique urban beach setting.

Through her brushstrokes, the viewers are invited to revel in the captivating colours and bask in the enchanting ambiance of Venice Beach.
