The work of #KieranGabrielArt (as seen in his illustrative #prints) using solid colours (occasional gradients) and a deft use of economic shadowing, intuitively captures the often sterile & blank expressionless corners of late 20th century #estates.

Homeward Bound. Mary L. Butterworth. #AcrylicOnCanvas. "Travellers arriving home at #Inverurie railway station." The commute to and from the nearest city is a repeated pattern across the nation - a suburban culture invented by the train.

Winter Night on Wise Lane (1 & 2) & Wills Grove 3. Diana Sandetskaya. Oils. Depicting the leafy & quasi-rural #northLondon suburbs of #Barnet the artist observes the delicate balance between the artificial & "natural" environments designed into suburbia.

Great James Street, Holborn. 2021 @nigelwadeart #Watercolour. Working in #WaterColourRealism the artist details a street in #London first laid out in the early 18th century in an area accommodating the westwards growth of the city; & remains virtually intact. Suburbia is not new.
The Tree, The Green Van, Shadows, Empty Streets. #ShaunMorrisArt. Oil on canvas "...inspired by my #LockdownWalks [...] on the edges of the #estate where I live [...] They represent scenes that are seen and yet unseen". #urbanlandscapes #birminghamart #nightwalk #urbanscenes #art
Paradise Path I & II. 2020. Claire Cansick. Oil on canvas. The damp air and green shade of a suburban cut through conjures up tropical illusions. We find nature everywhere. (Member of the @TheArborealists). @clairecansick #norwichartists #ukartist #oilpainting #paintbritain #art
Ghost. 2015. @Andy_Cropper. Oil paint over acrylic. Here the viewer becomes integral to the #painting: we visit the scene, walking softly and solo, stealing glimpses of sleeping streets and hidden corners. #nightwalks #nocturn #cityatnight #urbanlandscapes #sheffieldartist #art
Many truths - Salford & The back edge of twilight - East Lancs Road @BenArkArt. Two #paintings from #Salford mixed media artist Ben Ark, combining traditional painting techniques with digital technology.

Until you're in my arms once more,

Paintings from Mary Burke’s Suburban Shadows series (2010) capture an eerie absence – in a domestic suburbia representative of suburbs across the British Isles - with empty halls, open windows & doors ajar. The sense of trespassing looms large. Oil pastel on board. @burke_mary
