There May be Trouble Ahead Canvas Deluxe Leigh Lambert

Echoes of Youthful Mischief

Leigh Lambert captures a classic snapshot of British nostalgia in There May be Trouble Ahead. This fine art limited edition Giclée print transports viewers directly to a bustling cobbled back alley. Consequently, the scene radiates charm, warmth, and dynamic energy. Children gather eagerly to play cricket and explore, completely immersed in their youthful games. Meanwhile, the detailed brickwork and monochrome townscape evoke a striking sense of history.

Vibrant Pops of Nostalgic Colour

Lambert masterfully contrasts a muted background with vivid splashes of colour on the figures. Therefore, the vibrant clothing immediately draws your eyes toward the playful narrative unfolding in the street. Furthermore, a classic white car sits near the end of the terrace, heightening the distinct period setting. Every small detail encourages you to linger, discover new stories, and reminisce about simpler times.

Elegant and Timeless Presentation

The artwork comes beautifully housed inside a striking double frame setup. Specifically, a crisp white inner slip separates the art piece from a substantial, stepped black outer moulding. Thus, this classic framing choice creates incredible visual depth while highlighting the rich tonal values of the print. Indeed, this piece serves as a captivating focal point in both contemporary and traditional settings.

Leigh Lambert

Leigh was born and raised in Newcastle-Upon-Tyne, where he resided for the first twenty years of his life. Lambert began to draw as soon as he could hold a pencil, with his family quickly recognising his artistic flair. As he progressed through school his exceptionally detailed creations captured the attentions of his teachers, who admired his canny knack for capturing a view. However, the artist describes himself as mostly self-taught, having received no formal art qualifications or training.

Lambert relocated to Warwickshire with his family in 1996, where he focused on the development of his technique. It was on leaving Newcastle that he began to appreciate the nature of his upbringing; what he had once seen as a concrete jungle now seeming strangely beautiful. Taking inspiration from his childhood, Lamberts pieces have a strong sense of nostalgia, evoking fond memories of a youth that many can relate to.

Lambert is an accomplished artist across a range of media, most commonly working in oils on board. His use of colour is minimal, optimistically applying splashes only to the figures that play amidst the otherwise monochromatic landscapes, capturing the joy and vitality of youth.

Working from his garden studio, the artist has achieved great success in recent years. In 2014 he was shortlisted as Best Up and Coming Artist in the prestigious Fine Art Trade Guild Awards, and consequently his works are hugely sough-after. Limited editions often sell out within weeks, and waiting lists are in place for those hoping to acquire original paintings.
