A densely worked oil painting in which Auerbach builds up thick, heavily impastoed layers of paint to evoke the looming presence of brutalist tower blocks along Hampstead Road. His characteristic method of scraping back and reworking the surface over time gives the urban architecture a raw, almost geological weight, the structures emerging from a turbulent, earthy palette of ochres, greys, and blacks. The result is less a literal record of the streetscape than an intense, physical encounter with place and memory.
