Cake counter Oil on canvas shown at Zari Gallery London for the Art Gemini Prize 2023 finalists exhibition SOLD

Cake counter' - the title points us to a long diagonal counter full of delicious iced cakes in the glamorously lit food hall of Selfridges, London. The painting explores the reflections of the servers and the lights echoed in the glass covering the cakes, as well as drawing our attention to a single customer, the 'cake counter', who is planning her next move - which one, or how many?

Painted in a gestural style, with soft colours and brush strokes, this artwork possesses layers of meaning within the narrative - the servers and the served, the deep calm within a bustling London scene, captured with a palette of soft resonating colours.
