example of his expressive style, depicting a quiet Parisian street as the first glow of day breaks across the architecture.
Farren’s distinctive palette — rich blues, warm ochres and luminous highlights — conveys the shifting light of early morning as it touches the domed skyline and dances across wet pavements. His energetic brushwork brings movement and immediacy to the scene, while the solitary figure walking toward the distance adds a sense of narrative and human presence. The café frontage, rendered with loose yet confident strokes, anchors the composition and evokes the charm of everyday Paris.
Working in his signature impressionistic manner, Farren captures not only the visual details of the city but also its mood: the stillness before the bustle, the interplay of light and shadow, and the fleeting beauty of an ordinary moment. This painting exemplifies why Farren’s Paris works are so sought after by collectors of British art and contemporary cityscapes.
Available from Red Rag Gallery, specialists in British contemporary art, First Morning Light, Paris offers an evocative and atmospheric glimpse of one of the world’s most beloved cities through the eyes of a master of urban light.
