About this artwork
An original watercolour picture originally completed on 24.04.2021, on Windsor & Newton NOT 140lbs watercolour paper.
A large black circle enclosing a prison cell, with an inmate in it, dominates the picture. A strong orange background frames the circle . The idea for this picture came towards the end of the crazy lockdown period enforced on Britain's population. A big burly man grasps the bars of an a window looking out to what appears to be a country… scene. He is dressed in a high viz jacket and dark trousers, representing the workmen that were prevented from doing an honest day's work.
The bright light of freedom just penetrates the window sile and arms of the workman being kept in darkness.
The orange background has been upgraded to a much smoother wash.

Credentials
- Featured in gallery curations
I, Stephen Alpe, a self-taught watercolourist, started painting in watercolours back in 1986. Impressed by the artwork in ornithological books illustrated by artits such as David Reid-Henry. I strived to achieve the same level of excellence, but, where as, Reid Henry made it look like the subjects were about to fly off the page, my initial efforts looked like they had been carved out of stone!
I did, in time improve and was able to illustrate a few calendars and magazines.
On moving to the UK in 2007, I moved into painting landscapes and news items that caught my imagination. From 2012, I began to notice the works of the street artist Banksy. Other artists that I admire include Wassily Kadinski, Joan Miro and Pol Ledent.
