Description

Wigan Chimneys by James Lawrence Isherwood

Isherwood’s expressive technique transforms an urban scene into an emotional landscape. Rather than depicting precise architectural detail, he captures atmosphere and feeling — the resilience, labour, and intensity of Northern industrial life. The thick impasto and vigorous brushwork give the work a raw immediacy, making the painting feel both historic and alive.

Wigan Chimneys by James Lawrence Isherwood is a powerful abstract-industrial composition that captures the spirit of Northern England’s manufacturing landscape. Using bold palette-knife textures and dramatic contrasts, Isherwood evokes the dense skyline of factory chimneys and mills that once defined Wigan’s industrial identity.

This piece comes professionally framed and signed by the artist and comes from the collection of Isherwood’s late partner Pat White.
