Cardiff is a city that moves. Its streets hum with the energy of everyday life — commuters, shoppers, the rumble of traffic, the sudden glimpse of a church spire rising above the rooftops. In City Streets 001, Steffan Johnson seizes this restless urban energy and pins it to paper with confidence and skill.
The composition is bold and dynamic. Road markings sweep the viewer's eye deep into the heart of Cardiff city centre, where architecture, light and human activity converge. A slightly skewed perspective gives the scene a sense of forward momentum — as if you are stepping into the street yourself. The silhouette of a church steeple anchors the skyline, a quiet counterpoint to the bustle below.
Painted in oils on 290gsm acid-free fine linen textured paper, the work combines precise architectural observation with loose, expressive brushwork. The result is a painting that feels both grounded and alive — a vivid, contemporary record of a city in full flow.
A compelling piece of contemporary Welsh urban art — a perfect gift for anyone who loves Cardiff, city life, or the energy of a beautifully painted streetscape.
