This high-quality Giclée print, produced on 310gsm Hahnemühle German Etching paper, features Black Wharf—a fictional and atmospheric district of London envisioned through a hand-built miniature set ad digital drawing. The scene unfolds beneath an archway, where a crowd of shadowy figures in unsettling rodent-like masks gathers in the foreground. Behind them, dimly lit tenement buildings loom through the smoke, their crooked windows glowing with eerie warmth. Above it all, towering chimneys pump thick clouds into the sky, casting a smog-heavy haze over a skyline of factories and spires. Created using paper, cardboard, and carefully controlled lighting, the piece evokes a nightmarish version of the industrial city—claustrophobic, theatrical, and hauntingly surreal.
