Kandinsky

“FIRST Kandinski” is Brian Crosby’s imaginative reworking of Cheltenham through the vibrant lens of abstract expressionism. Inspired by the geometric dynamism of Wassily Kandinsky, the painting features stylised interpretations of Cheltenham’s architecture and landscape – from classical columns and sweeping terraces to the iconic racecourse, church spire, and surrounding hills.

Vivid shapes, rainbows, and shafts of light interplay across the canvas, creating a rhythmic, dreamlike world that celebrates both structure and spontaneity. It’s a joyful collision of heritage and abstraction – a love letter to Cheltenham that dances with colour and movement.
