Forming the final third of Mark Spain’s brand new Summer 2014 compositional trilogy (going by the collective name of the ‘In the City’ series), this particular fine example of the coveted contemporary figurative artist’s mini-collection is entitled ‘Midnight Embrace’; and available to order as of now.

Focusing intently on some of London’s most recognised physical landmarks, this specific hand-embellished canvas study transports the eager viewer to the South Bank, and an ambient backdrop of a distant St Paul’s Cathedral which only gives way in its graphical significance to the foreground-posted embracing couple. Sheltering beneath an umbrella from the inclement weather, they are quite simply lost in one another in this peerless limited edition release by one of the leading lights of his chosen genre.
