“A whimsical, painterly urban scene rendered in pink, coral and magenta tones showing a stylised cityscape at dusk. On the left a tall clock‐tower with a spire topped by a small blue flag (appears to be the Scottish Saltire), and next to it a dome‑shaped roof. The skyline is filled with slender pointed building shapes and scattered window‑like rectangles. A pale crescent moon appears in the upper right of a soft dusky pink sky sprinkled with subtle white flecks that suggest snow or stars. In the foreground a path or street of lighter colour leads toward the horizon, flanked by abstract multicoloured dots and brushstrokes giving a festive, shimmering effect.”

Description

PINK SPARKLE, PRINCES STREET. Framed Open Edition Fine Art Giclée Print by Nikki Monaghan.

PINK SPARKLE, PRINCES STREET is a joyful interpretation of one of Scotland’s most beloved thoroughfares – and it appears as a shimmering, stylised urban scene in this print by Nikki Monaghan. Once again the artist returns to the landmark setting of Princes Street, capturing its silhouette and energy with vibrancy and emotion: PINK SPARKLE, PRINCES STREET flows with coral, magenta and dusky pink skies, a slender street in the foreground leading toward the horizon, and abstract brush-marks evoking festive light-and-snow sparkle. The tall clock-tower with a spire, the dome-shaped roof and the slender pointed rooftops fill the skyline of Princes Street; Nikki’s interpretation transforms the familiar view into a shimmering memory of the place.

For the third time, PINK SPARKLE, PRINCES STREET anchors its audience in the famed landscape of Edinburgh — and continues to invite the viewer into a whimsical imagining of Princes Street as a place of colour, light and memory.
