Bright pops of red stand out against a dark green landscape, lit only by a solitary gas station and its equally solitary employee. The result is a strange yet familiar landscape that comments on the pervasion of industrialism on nature, a theme characteristic of Edward Hopper's starkly beautiful realism. Here, Hopper's iconic artwork has been captured by internationally acclaimed artist John Myatt in a beautiful hand-embellished stretched canvas.

As production continues on his own film biopic that sets to capture the incredible life and career of the world-famous art forger, here John has turned to one of his own favourite artists. The work of American realist Edward Hopper, as John describes, captures a deeper understanding of life in an urban and industrial society. Using bold contrasts and geometrically designed compositions, John has not only captured the gorgeous modern aesthetics of his work but, also the dramatic narratives that speak of isolation, familiarity and cityscapes.
