Piece description from the artist
The red Burlington House banner dances gracefully in the wind outside the Royal Academy of Arts on Piccadilly. This vibrant banner, fluttering against the backdrop of historic grandeur, heralds a sanctuary of creativity and culture. As it waves, it invites passersby, and hopefully the viewer, to step inside and experience the beauty of masterpieces and contemporary works that define one of London's artistic hearts. From the gold paint on the gate to the intricate design of arches above it, the Royal Academy is a magnificent blend of heritage and art.
Esan Swan is a professional photographer, journalist and picture editor at the Financial Times in London. With deep roots in his community and heritage, his work seeks to represent the rich multicultural storytelling that inspired him in his youth and continues to do so now well into his career. Historical documentary photography and varying art and social movements as well as commercial interpretation of beauty have influenced his work into a contemporary style that could be called its own. Originally from Bermuda and partly raised in the United States, his international approach to storytelling, from commissioned picture essays to independent work on his website, is defined by the aesthetics of nature, design and human connections.
