Rendered with remarkable depth, his evocative cityscapes transform urban environments into symphonies of shadow and luminescence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the \u003cem\u003e2026 Autumn\u003c\/em\u003e collection, Somers explores fleeting moments and the impressions of a place, shaped by colour, memory and feeling. While the recognisable landmarks provide a sense of location, the artworks move deliberately beyond architectural precision.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLight becomes the thread that connects place and emotion, and the technique allows the atmosphere to emerge from the surface, bringing the artwork alive with a cinematic and expressive feel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith fiery oranges and red hues across the sky and reflected in the water, ‘The Magical Hour’ captures a timeless moment, where reflections and stillness make time feel suspended – it could be dusk or dawn; the painting intentionally leaves that question unresolved.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOften capturing fleeting moments of illumination in urban settings, Somers’s artwork balances intimacy and grandeur, solitude and momentum, creating a sense of cinematic stillness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e“There’s no right or wrong way to create art.
