Samples of a great exhibition in the underpass from the Tower of London to the eponymous Tube station. Sadly unnoticed by the hurrying masses, these colourful expressionist paintings stopped me in my tracks.
Because I instantly felt something in common with this artist (no, it's not the talent). This is quite exactly how I see the world - in warm vibrant colours. If you find most of my photos too over-saturated, or containing too much architecture - this is how my eyes see reality :(
His name is Stephen B. Whatley and I am yet to find and see more of his works, but am looking forward to the occasion and expect more of this inspiring exuberance.

*"alumbramiento" is a term used by spouses of artists to describe what they see in artists works that no "outsider" sees. It has nothing to do with being good or bad, and it occurs very rarely, but when it does it becomes enlightening, in short a revelation for artist and spouse.
Central Park, one of several drawings made on location in New York recently by British artist Stephen B. Whatley.
Whatley interprets the scenes before him in his travelling drawing book; which inspire charcoal and pastel drawings ; and oil paintings.
The expressionist painter - whose work is prominently collected in the USA - has an abiding love of the USA ; and this was his first visit abroad since before the pandemic.
The artist's press includes the New York Times & TIME magazine; which published his portrait tribute of Barack Obama in 2008.
Many discover the artist's work from the permanent art exhibit of the series of 30 paintings he was commissioned to paint for Her Majesty's Tower of London in 2000; reproduced just outside Tower Hill Station as a vibrant walkway of art to the Tower.
In 2004 the artist was honoured to meet the late Queen Elizabeth II and The Duke of Edinburgh at a reception at the Tower of London; in recognition of his work.

A new tribute painting of Saint Teresa of Calcutta by British expressionist artist Stephen B. Whatley.
Born in Albania, Mother Teresa (1910-1997) answered an early calling to serve God, joining the Sisters of Loreto in Ireland in order to learn English , with the intention of becoming a missionary.
In 1946 on a train she felt she heard from Jesus, "Come be my Light...I cannot go alone" - and devoting her life to helping the poor, the homeless and the dying in India, she became the Mother to the Poor.
When she had taken her religious vows in 1931 she chose the name Teresa after Saint Teresa of Lisieux - and like many, including Saint Teresa of Lisieux , she had experienced throughout her life, a struggle with faith, even feeling separated from God - a darkness that troubled her and maybe drove her on with her good work.
She had opened her first hospice in 1952 and expressed her wish that a "a beautiful death is for people who lived like animals to die like angels - loved and wanted".
She was proclaimed a Saint in 2016 by Pope Francis ; two miracles of healing of cancer in 1998 and 2008 being attributed to her.
The artist - a Catholic convert since 2011 - created the tribute through the intensive research, photographic references and the prayers that generate all his work.
"Through darkness into light...humbly I hope my painting represents the eternal light that will forever be Mother Teresa's reward in heaven - and I pray for peace and any healing for all who view the image, faith or no faith" - Stephen B. Whatley, London, UK, April 2023.

Die Kunststätte Bossard ist ein Museum und expressionistisches Gesamtkunstwerk. Auf einem etwa drei Hektar großen Heidegrundstück zwischen Jesteburg und Lüllau im Norden der Lüneburger Heide erbauten Johann Michael Bossard (1874–1950) und seine Frau Jutta Bossard-Krull (1903–1996) verschiedene Gebäude und eine Gartenanlage. Sie versuchten, die Künste Architektur, Bildhauerei, Malerei, Kunstgewerbe und Gartenkunst zu einem Ganzen verschmelzen zu lassen. Entstanden ist das Ensemble von 1911 bis 1950. Der Betreiber des 1997 eröffneten Museums ist die Stiftung Kunststätte Johann und Jutta Bossard. Das Grundstück, die Gebäude und Kunstwerke sowie die Archivalien aus dem Nachlass brachte Jutta Bossard-Krull in die 1995 gegründete Stiftung ein.
Hinter dem Gedanken zum Gesamtkunstwerk stand verstärkt die Idee der Lebensreform, die sehr viele heterogene Strömungen wie zum Beispiel Freikörperkultur, Naturheilkunde und Tierschutz ausweist. (Wikipedia)
Kunststätte Bossard is an expressionist Gesamtkunstwerk, sometimes also referred to as a visionary environment, located in the town of Jesteburg in Lower Saxony, Germany. It was created by Swiss artist Johann Michael Bossard [de] (1874–1950) and his wife, Jutta Kroll-Bossard (1903–1996). It combines architecture, sculpture, painting and garden design.
Bossard's work was heavily influenced by Norse mythology. It is deemed unique by art historians, on a par with the expressionist art of Böttcherstrasse at Bremen or the Chilehaus at Hamburg. (Wikipedia)

A new Catholic tribute by expressionist artist Stephen B. Whatley, created in pastel ,on November 17, the Feast Day of Saint Elizabeth of Hungary.
From Magnificat, November 2015:
'Saint Elizabeth of Hungary.
As a young child Elizabeth, the daughter of Andrew, King of Hungary, was sent to the palace of Wartburg in Thuringia to be raised alongside her future husband, Ludwig. She was a prodigy of charity. From the age of fourteen, when she became queen, she served the poor with her own hands. It is said that on one occasion, Elizabeth hurried from the palace with her apron full of bread for the hungry, but was stopped by her angry husband. She opened the apron and a bunch of red roses tumbled out. After Ludwig's death in 1227, Elizabeth entered the Franciscan Third Order and gave herself wholly to nursing the sick. She died at the age of twenty-four.'
Saint Elizabeth of Hungary is Patron Saint of many causes, including the homeless.

A new tribute to Hollywood film & TV actress of the 1950s, Paula Hill (1926-2000) created on her birthday, 15 February, by expressionist artist Stephen B. Whatley. Inspired by several publicity stills from 1952.
For every Marilyn Monroe, Elizabeth Taylor and Lana Turner there were hundreds of working actresses in Hollywood who did not receive such major star status - despite often displaying as much talent and beauty.
For the artist, Paula Hill - credited in some of her films as Mary Hill - was one such actress; and since discovering her in the 1990s, he has been researching her life. Hollywood biographical research has been a passion since his teens.
A minister’s daughter born Paula Mary Hill in Birmingham, Alabama she suffered very early losses of her father and protective older brother which would mark her life - and in the late 1940s she set herself on her path to Hollywood.
Despite numerous bit parts in both classic and B-movies - including The Greatest Show On Earth (1952) and The Beast From 20000 Fathoms (1953), she only got one major break as a leading lady on the big screen ironically in what is now considered one of the worst films of all time Mesa of Lost Women (1953).
In the surreal science fiction B-film starring former child star Jackie Coogan, Paula Hill - credited as Mary hill - displayed her unique beauty and a full range of acting talents, delivered with a velvet voice.
Heartbroken by a series of career disappointments newspapers reported she attempted suicide with pills in 1954 - but ever the fighter, having survived her early bereavements, she fought on in the Hollywood jungle.
She did go onto several good leading leading roles on television in TV dramas and comedy shows including Dragnet, Highway Patrol, Burns & Allen and The Red Skelton Show in the mid to late 1950s - but by 1960 she had departed to New York to become a lounge singer ; displaying the most beautiful velvet voice. She was still acting in the Los Angeles theatre in 1962.
Nothing is recorded of her life in the 1970s and 1980s - but at the end of that decade she was re-discovered by the film producer Steve Burrows , who just happened to be living in her Los Angeles apartment building.
He gave her two cameo character roles which she played to the hilt, in his films, Soldier of Fortune (1991) and Chump Change (2000); the latter of which which she sadly did not live to see released.
Through his own tributes - both in art and the feature he hopes to write for a film publication one day - artist Stephen B. Whatley hopes the world, not just film buffs, will begin to know the Paula Hill he admires a little better - and he hopes somehow from the heavens she can see his celebrations.

Saint Elijah, Patron Saint of Sleep Problems in a tribute created on his Feast Day, July 20th, by expressionist artist Stephen B. Whatley.
The drawing was inspired by the artist's history of insomnia and to bring peace to others suffering from sleep problems.
Saint Elijah is recorded in complex scripture in the Old Testament (1 Kings 19)…....put very simply, Elijah was wandering in the desert, depressed and praying for death. He fell asleep, and an angel watched over him, waking him only to eat food brought to him by Ravens - some of the most intelligent of birds - and then letting him fall asleep again. He awoke with a renewed faith and energy to do God’s work.
Our of darkness, light : prayers for sustained peaceful sleep.

Happy & blessed All Saints' Day...blessings of healing, peace, prosperity & joy through Our Lady, Queen of The Saints & all the Saints...including Saint Benedict ~ in this new painting by expressionist artist Stephen B. Whatley.
Saint Benedict is Patron Saint of Europe & Students, amongst other causes. It is said that monks within his monastery, disagreeing with his principles, conspired to kill him, by poisoning bread he was to bless ~ & a Raven flew in and took the bread.
Stephen B. Whatley is a Catholic convert, a calling he felt through his spiritual search to survive early tragedy in his life; and his exhibition, "Paintings From Prayer" was staged at London's Westminster Cathedral in 2013.
Stephen gets what he humbly feels a 'Divine Push' to paint tributes of faith, amongst his other work - a large body of which is on public display every day in the City of London, just outside the Tower of London - where his series of 30 commissioned paintings charting the history of The Tower are permanently reproduced throughout the walkway leading from Tower Hill Station.

A new tribute to the Holy Mother & Child by expressionist artist Stephen B. Whatley; created on Christmas Day 2021 : Light of The World - Holy Mother & Child of Kentucky, USA.
The artist has a deep affection for the USA, close to his heart and upset by the news of the tornado that hit the Kentucky on December 10th this year.
He was moved to hear that a statue of The Blessed Virgin Mary & Baby Jesus remained standing and preserved outside the badly damaged Resurrection Catholic Church in Dawson Springs, KT. This became a starting point of inspiration.

Seven centuries of art: from Flemish Primitives to Expressionists.
Modern Masters.
FORM
Modern artists experimenting with form as well as light and colour. in painting, they started playing with lines and surfaces. And in sculpture with volumes and voids.
in the 20th century, form was no longer expected to comply with ideal proportions or observation. Artists now started making figurative or abstract images portaying concepts like movement and speed and exaggerating expression. They could work informally and spontaneously.

VORM
Moderne kunstenaars experimenteerden met vorm, maar ook met licht en kleur. In de schilderkunst begonnen ze te spelen met lijnen en vlakken. En in de beeldhouwkunst met volumes en holtes.
In de 20e eeuw werd van vorm niet langer verwacht dat het zich hield aan ideale verhoudingen of observaties. Kunstenaars begonnen nu figuratieve of abstracte beelden te maken die concepten als beweging en snelheid uitbeeldden en expressie overdreef. Ze konden informeel en spontaan werken.

A new tribute to Divine Mercy, painted on Divine Mercy Sunday 2020 by expressionist artist Stephen B. Whatley - with prayers for the Mercy of Jesus and the power of the Holy Spirit, for healing, hope, peace, protection and new miracles to overcome the coronavirus sweeping the world.
Peace and new Blessings of Hope & Healing on this Earth Day.
The image of Divine Mercy was first directed to be painted through miraculous visitations by Jesus to a Polish nun Sister Faustina (1905-1938) in the 1930s. This humble woman of faith was canonized as St Faustina in 2000, by Pope John Paul II.
She goes on to record that Jesus said' paint a picture according to the vision you see and with the signature, Jesus I Trust in You...' Sister Faustina asked Jesus what the rays signified.
He said: ' The rays represent the Blood and Water which gushed forth from the depths of my Mercy when My agonising Heart was pierced on the cross. The pale rays signify the water, which cleanses and purifies the soul; the red rays represent the blood which gives new life to the soul - rays shielding the soul before the justice of My Father...'
The message of Jesus through St Faustina is clear: devotion to the Divine Mercy is universal and open to all; in His words, 'Let no soul fear to draw near to Me, even though its sins may be scarlet'.
The 3 o'clock prayer, the Hour of Mercy - for the needs of oneself or others:
' You expired Jesus, but the source of life gushed forth for souls and an ocean of Mercy opened up for the whole world. O Fount of Life, unfathomable Divine Mercy, envelop the whole world and empty Yourself out upon us.
O Blood and Water, which gushed forth from the Heart of Jesus as a fount of mercy for us, I Trust in You, Jesus I trust in You'
"Jesus I Trust in You"
Peace.

President Barack Obama in a portrait tribute, painted days before the 2008 US Election by expressionist artist Stephen B. Whatley.
The photograph taken in the artist's London studio shows the montage of selected photographs that inspired the oil painting - including the TIME magazine cover of 2006. Coincidentally this painting would be published in the TIME magazine Person of The Year issue of Dec 2008-Jan 2009.
The original work of art is owned by an American property developer living in London, UK; but signed prints of the portrait can be ordered from the artist's website.
Last night, January 10, 2017, in Chicago, President Obama delivered a brilliant farewell speech to the nation, which the artist watched live on the BBC from London UK.
He stated that America was in a better place than 'when we started' - and reassured the US 'citizens' ('the office we all share'), maybe with a veiled reference to the impending change of Presidency, that 'change can only happen when ordinary people come together'; that 'democracy can buckle if we give into fear' and emphasised the need for 'solidarity' - that 'we are all in this together'. His last words: "God bless The United States of America"

Yesterday, July 14, 2022, expressionist artist Stephen B. Whatley (left) at his permanent art exhibit outside the Tower of London: giving a tour to Italian model and personal trainer Marco Pinotti who is visiting London from the USA.
The meeting was suggested by his friend - and the artist's - Long Island NY realtor, William Tarantola; an admirer of Whatley's work.
The artist retraced his steps with little stories about the series of 30 paintings, charting the history of the Tower that he was commissioned to paint in 2000; and meeting Queen Elizabeth in 2004 at the Tower of London.
They are pictured either side of Whatley's portrait of Henery VIII, inspired by the Holbein portrait - which was the first painting he completed at the beginning of the commission.
The art show which is the pedestrian walkway to the Tower of London is open daily outside Tower Hill Station, London.

A recently commissioned Catholic tribute painting of a relatively contemporary saint, Saint Padre Pio, by British expressionist artist Stephen B. Whatley.
The Italian Saint, was born Francesco Forgione in 1887 and given the name Pius (Italian: Pio) when he joined the Order of Friars Minor Capuchin in 1903 at 15. He is also known as Saint Pius of Peitrelcina.
Deeply holy and predestined he stated at the incredibly young age of 5 that he had decided to devote his whole life to God.
Devoted to helping and healing others and giving hope assisted by a delightful sense of humour, he sadly suffered personally with ill health most of his life.
On September 20, 1918, the Feast of The Stigmata of Saint Francis of Assisi - to whom he was devoted - he was struck down with severe pain...as he received the wounds of the Crucified Christ - which would need to be bound for the rest of his life.
Amongst miracles attributed to him, was the ability during his lifetime, to perform 'bilocation' : the ability to be in two places at once - whilst performing Mass in church he was could be at the bedside of someone close to death. He could also invite himself into people's dreams, giving them direction towards solving problems in their lives.
Like Christ, Padre Pio suffered terrible mental anguish about those who persecuted and doubted him - including the Vatican which sought proof of his powers - but miracles finally accepted were the curing of an 11-year-old boy who was in a coma and the medically inexplicable recovery of a woman with lung disease.
In his lifetime Padre Pio exhaustively listened to thousands of confessions; Confession he declared was a cleansing of the soul, 'like dusting a room'.
It was not until 1998, 30 years after his death at 81 in 1968, that he was afforded Beatification. In 2002 that he was canonised as Saint Pio of Pietrelcina by Pope John Paul II, now Saint John Paul II - with whom he shared a devotion to Divine Mercy.
His wonderful warm smile enchanted all who met him in his lifetime and today he remains enormously popular in Italy and the rest of Europe, Australia and the USA, where his smiling face can even be found on windscreen stickers of cars belonging to devotees.
Amongst Saint Padre Pio's holy assurances were that 'prayer is the key that opens the heart of God' and that ' love is the first ingredient in the relief of suffering'.
One of Saint Padre Pio's most famous prayers is " Pray, hope and don't worry".
Artist Stephen B. Whatley (1965-) suffered the tragic loss at 16 of his beloved, devoted mother Marjorie J. Whatley (1943-1981) in 1981). The devastating bereavement lead the artist on a search for spiritual depth both in his life and art; and whilst he was born an Anglican, he became attracted to the devotions within the Catholic Church – to which he converted in 2011.
He is happy that his work touches so many Christians, whether they be Catholics, Anglicans or Episcopalians.
Since 2000, he has been drawn to make statements of prayer and faith; often painting on specific anniversaries and Feast Days – with what he humbly calls a “divine push’, creating both works of hope and light.
The work of Stephen B. Whatley is in collections worldwide & public collections which own his work include the BBC, London Transport Museum, and The Royal Collection of Queen Elizabeth II.
Catholic institutions that own the artist's paintings include The Carrollton School of The Sacred Heart, Miami, USA, The Institute of Marist Brothers, Canada, Newman University, Birmingham (UK), St Anthony Padua Catholic College, Sydney, Australia and Westminster Cathedral, London - which staged his 2013 exhibition, Paintings From Prayer. Westminster Cathedral, London - which staged his 2013 exhibition, Paintings From Prayer.
The artist's series of 30 paintings, commissioned by the Tower of London in 2000, is a permanent exhibit outside Tower Hill Station, London ; reproduced throughout Tower Hill Pedestrian Underpass (outside Tower Hill Station) - the main portal entrance to Her Majesty's Tower of London.

LICHT
Je kunt niets zien in het donker. Licht stelt ons in staat kleuren en vormen te zien. Wanneer licht op een object schijnt, geeft de schaduw het volume en diepte. Licht en schaduw sturen je blik en bepalen de sfeer.
In de middeleeuwse kunst zie je soms een gouden achtergrond of een aureool, een heldere lichtcirkel rond het hoofd, om heilige of gewijde figuren aan te duiden. In de 14e eeuw begonnen kunstenaars te streven naar meer realisme. Ze beeldden mensen en dingen af alsof ze echt verlicht waren.
19e-eeuwse landschapsschilders schilderden in de open lucht met verf uit tubes, een recente uitvinding. Licht werd een zelfstandig onderwerp. De impressionisten gaven licht en schaduw weer in ongemengde kleurvlakken. Hierdoor ontdekten kunstenaars dat ze licht, kleur en vorm ook onafhankelijk van elkaar konden gebruiken. Zonder iets te hoeven uitbeelden.

LIGHT
You can't see anything in the dark. Light allows us to see colours and shapes. When light shines on an object, the shadow gives it volume and depth. Light and shadow direct your gaze and set the mood.
In medieval art, you sometimes see a gold background or an aureole, a bright circle of light around the head, to indicate holy or sacred figures. In the 14th century, artists began striving for greater realism. They depicted people and things as if they really were lit up.
19th century landscape artists painted in the open air, using paint from tubes, a recent invention. Light became a subject in its own right. The impressionists rendered light and shadow in unmixed blocks of colour. As a result, artists discovered they could also use light, color and form independently. Without having to represent anything.
