Framed abstract artwork When the City Breathes by Lisa Marie Jones, shown in a minimalist interior setting

WHEN THE CITY BREATHES

A contemporary abstract artwork exploring colour, movement, and urban breath

When the City Breathes explores the quieter rhythms within an urban environment — moments of pause, movement, and transition that sit beneath the surface of everyday life.

The Artwork

Vertical forms rise and soften across the surface, suggesting the impression of a city rather than its structure. Warm ochres and muted blues are layered and reworked, allowing areas of density and openness to exist side by side. The composition moves gently, with colour and form shifting in a way that feels continuous rather than fixed.

Painted intuitively, the work developed through layered mark-making and expressive linear gestures, responding to each stage as it evolved. The eye moves through the piece, echoing the natural rhythm of a city observed without urgency.
