A new architectural painting by expressionist artist Stephen B. Whatley; commissioned by The Trustees of St Vincent's Nursing Home, Eastcote, Pinner, UK.
The artist visited St Vincent's Nursing Home on a sunny but freezing day in January and took photographs and made several graphite drawings and notes of colour sensations that inspired the painting; created in March 2022.
Whatley - whose work has been published in TIME - is noted for his contemporary architectural paintings, commissioned by The Royal Collection of Buckingham Palace, the BBC and the Tower of London - where there is a permanent walkway of his series of 30 paintings at Tower Hill, commissioned by Historic Royal Palaces in 2000.
The work of Stephen B. Whatley is in private collections worldwide and other public collections including the London Transport Museum and Westminster Cathedral.

Very untypical image! The temple is really a metaphor for 'light' and 'lightness', but the geometry lends itself to strong contrasts. The expressionist architecture is so rigorous in its repetition that it does hint at the architect's oppressive vision. Architect: Sabha

Larry Singer, chair of the synagogue’s building committee, commissioned architect Kenneth Treister to design the chapel in 1962. Named for its principal benefactors, Sophie and Nathan Gumenick, the chapel was completed in 1969. Treister composed the seating so that the congregants are never farther than nine rows from the bimah, the platform from which services are led, resulting in an intimate atmosphere. The in-the-round seating arrangement (with two banks of pews set at right angles to each other) provokes a stronger sense of unity among the congregants, allowing them to face one another during services.
Richly colored light suffuses the interior at all hours. Throughout the day, the chapel glows with light entering through stained glass windows, which are composed of cast blocks of colored glass held together by black epoxy. After sunset, two copper chandeliers illuminate the interior. Treister built the chandeliers in Hialeah, and also fabricated complementary copper sconces and other furnishings. He also built a copper ner tamid, or eternal lamp, which was placed above the ark, and two lecterns crafted from copper and mahogany for the bimah. The architect crafted the furnishings throughout the chapel, either by himself or in close collaboration with area craftsmen.
The immense visual weight of the chapel’s walls belies its thin, light construction. Treister fleshed out the walls by draping a steel mesh over steel structural framing, then covered this armature with a thin layer of concrete sprayed under pressure. The material is less than one inch thick in some places. The concrete membrane relies on folded geometry, rather than mass, for its strength. Treister produced detailed drawings as needed throughout the construction process and changed the design of the chapel in response to changing conditions. Structural engineers Ed Bliss and John Nyitray designed the steel framing to obviate the need for columns in the sanctuary.
The entire facade is a sculptural representation of the Ten Commandments as engraved on the two tablets given to Moses at Mount Sinai. The Ark of the Covenant—where the Torah is stored—is legible on the exterior of the building as a tower set between the two stylized tablets. On the interior, this shell-like form opens to provide a top-lit shelter for the Torah, in a gesture resembling the side chapels at Le Corbusier’s Notre-Dame du Haut in Ronchamp, France. The sunlight over the Torah is the major source of interior illumination, symbolically associating the word of God with light.
Treister is the author or co-author of at least ten books, including monographs, about the Gumenick Chapel and two of his other local projects, the Mayfair and the Holocaust Memorial. A Miami native, Treister graduated from the University of Florida in 1953 with a degree in architecture. Treister’s other works are equally Expressionistic in form and reflect his longstanding interest in the work of Antoni Gaudí and other architects of inventive, idiosyncratic forms.

Rudolf Steiner House, in London's Marylebone, designed by Montague Wheeler and built between 1926 and 1937, is the capital’s (and possibly Britain’s) only example of expressionist architecture. The building’s asymmetrical facade, with its oddly shaped windows, barely hints at the extraordinary forms of the interior; in particular, the main staircase, with its organic, flowing curves, is a stunning example of the expressionist style. Rudolf Steiner house was built as the British home of the Anthroposophical Society, which takes its inspiration from the work of Rudolf Steiner (1861 – 1925), an Austrian philosopher, social reformer, architect, esotericist, and claimed clairvoyant. The building, which contains a theatre (built principally for performances of eurythmy), library, bookshop and café, stands as an almost unique British example of the symbolic expressionism prevalent in German art before and after World War I.
Amsterdam - Hembrugstraat.
"Het Schip" is a social housing complex built in 1921 and designed by architect Michel de Klerk. The world-renowned expressionist building is popularly known as The Ship because of the particular shape in which it has been constructed. It has since become an icon of the Amsterdam School architecture movement.
The Amsterdam School is a style of architecture that arose from 1910 through about 1930 in the Netherlands. The Amsterdam School movement is part of international Expressionist architecture, sometimes linked to German Brick Expressionism (Wikipedia)

The Conversion of Saint Paul The Apostle 2021 by expressionist artist Stephen B. Whatley.
This new work of prayer was commenced on the Feast of The Conversion of St Paul, January 25th and completed two days ago, the Feast of St Thomas Aquinas.
Historical accounts suggest Saul, as the Apostle was first known, was short bald and red-haired - the essence of whom the artist felt through the Holy Spirit.
Saul was persecuting Christians until the miraculous visitation of Jesus stopped him in his tracks; leaving him blind for three days before being miraculously healed.
Saint Paul called himself the least of the Apostles because of his guilt at persecuting the church when he was called upon by Christ to change and evangelise the Truth.

Seven centuries of art: from Flemish Primitives to Expressionists.
Modern & Classic Masters.
Henri De Braekeleer (1840-1888)
The Man in the Chair (1876)
An old man sits, lost in thought, in the meeting room of the Antwerp Brewers' House. The depiction of a window in art is centuries old. It connects the inside with the outside. Warm sunlight creates an intimate atmosphere. De Braekeleer meticulously studied the effects of light. He brought glass, velvet, gilded leather, and terracotta to life. With subtle shades of golden brown, gray, and red.
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.

Zeven eeuwen kunst: van Vlaamse primitieven tot expressionisten.
Moderne & klassieke meesters.
Henri De Braekeleer (1840-1888)
De man in de stoel (1876)
een oude man zit in edanken verzonken in de vargaderzaal van het Antwerpse Brouwershuis. De vorstelling van een venster in de kunst is eeuwenoud. Het verbindt binnen met buiten? Warm zonlicht zorgt voor een intieme sfeer. Nauwkeurig bestudeerde De Braekeleer de werking van het licht. Glas, fluweel, goudleer en terracotta bracht hij tot leven. Mt subtiele nuances van goudbruin, grijs en rood.
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.

Architect: Peder Vilhelm Jensen Klint, Kaare Klint
Built in: 1921-1940
Builder:
Grundtvig's Church (Grundtvigs Kirke) in Copenhagen, Denmark is a rare example of expressionist church architecture and due to its unusual appearance; it is one of the best-known churches in the city.
The church is named after the Danish philosopher and hymn writer N. F. S. Grundtvig and was built by Peder Vilhelm Jensen-Klint. The work took place mainly from 1921 to 1926 when the tower section was completed, leading to the initial inauguration of the so-called Tower Church in 1927. Further work on the interior and on adjacent buildings continued until 1940 and was completed by Klint's son architect Kaare Klint after his father's death in 1930. The church stands at the centre of a residential development (1924–36), also in yellow bricks, designed by Jensen-Klint in harmony with the church.
The most striking feature of the church is its west façade with the 49 m (160 ft) tall bell tower. It is an imposing façade.
