Battersea Power Station



Battersea Power Station
This exquisite original charcoal on paper drawing by Michael Warren captures the timeless majesty of Battersea Power Station from the vantage point of Chelsea Embankment. The iconic four chimneys stand out in a delightfully quirky, almost whimsical manner—drawn with a charming simplicity that emphasises their bold, unmistakable silhouette against the sky, rendered in clean, confident lines rather than intricate detail.
Warren's charcoal technique brings a rich depth and texture to the scene which is enveloped in a soft, atmospheric haze that suggests the quiet beauty of a London riverside evening. As a treasured local artist and long-standing Artist in Residence at Battersea Power Station since the 1980s, Michael Warren has devoted over 50 years to documenting this architectural landmark through countless drawings and paintings. His intimate knowledge of the site infuses this work with authenticity and emotional resonance, portraying not just the structure itself but the spirit of a building that has witnessed decades of change—from its industrial heyday through decline and triumphant regeneration.
This piece stands as a testament to Warren's unwavering dedication, offering collectors a rare opportunity to own a piece of London's living history. Measuring 40 x 59 cm and priced at £1,950.00, this original charcoal drawing is available for purchase through Artienda. For those seeking more accessible options, high quality giclee prints of this captivating image are also available in various sizes—please enquire for details on editions, pricing, and availability. A true collector's item, this work beautifully celebrates both the artist's lifelong passion and the enduring allure of one of London's most beloved icons.
