Iconic London landmarks seen through Simon Roberts’ unsettling, blurred lens.

Both beautiful and disturbing at once, these portraits of just-recognisable locations in London show the city in a new and unusual light. The scenes are familiar but distant, as if shown after some catastrophic event. The tranquil, painterly palette lends to the emotional dissonance: this is the London we all know but somehow it is alien too.
