Art Analysis
A storied vertical journey through London’s historic skyline
In this portrait-oriented composition, Goggin explores the enduring silhouettes of London’s most recognizable monuments. The work utilizes a vintage aesthetic to bridge the gap between historical grandeur and modern graphic design, presenting landmarks not as isolated sites but as part of a collective urban memory. The muted tones and textured overlays suggest a city that has been lived in and weathered by time.
By focusing on the verticality of the city's spires and clock towers, the artist emphasizes the upward reach of London's skyline. The arrangement of these visual entities creates a rhythmic flow that guides the eye through a curated journey of the Thames-side landscape, capturing the specific atmosphere of a fog-brushed afternoon in the metropolis.
The portrait orientation focuses the viewer's attention on the closeness of the subjects, heightening the sense of a private world.
The artwork adopts the visual language of the city, blending celebrity worship with the aesthetic of street-level murals.
The image creates a contemplative atmosphere by documenting the enduring physical remnants of a bygone commercial era.
