St. Pancras Steps
1978
A dynamic and energetic depiction of the familiar London streetscape near St. Pancras, rendered with Auerbach's characteristic intensity through layered coloured markers, crayon, and oil on paper. The built environment is captured in gestural, heavily worked marks that blur the boundary between observation and abstraction, transforming an everyday urban scene into something raw and visceral. Auerbach's relentless reworking of the surface creates a dense accumulation of colour and line that speaks to his lifelong obsession with the streets and structures of his adopted city.
