Arnold Circus
2008
A dynamic and energetic depiction of the historic Arnold Circus bandstand in East London, rendered in Kossoff's characteristically vigorous and expressive mark-making. Bold, gestural strokes of charcoal and pastel build up a dense, layered image that captures both the physical presence of the Victorian structure and the bustling life surrounding it. The work reflects Kossoff's lifelong dedication to depicting familiar London subjects with raw emotional intensity and an acute sense of place.
