Jardin de Tuileries, Paris, Deluxe Study

There's something magical about the way life slows down in the heart of Paris. I wanted to capture the feeling of a bright day in the Jardin des Tuileries, where people stroll, relax, and soak up the atmosphere, with Sacré-Cœur rising softly in the distance. I focused on bringing out the light, the movement, and that sense of timeless Parisian charm that makes the city so special.

"Being challenged daily and discovering new and exciting ways of pushing boundaries keeps me motivated. My mixed media landscapes have something to say, which I like to express with collage and typography."

Butler creates this narrative with an expert use of characterisation; the people that occupy his scenes, a stylised representation of society that has often been compared to L.S. Lowry, are complemented and modernised with Butler’s collages.His inclusion of newspaper text, slogans, statements or a single word, adds a depth and intrigue that keeps the audience hooked.This murmur from the artist, a quiet commentary accompanying the scene itself can be likened to the hum of the city, the gentle chatter of a metropolis. With this, Butler brings an essence of the City onto our walls and into our homes.
