This original painting on aluminum by Kris Hardy, titled "Shard", measures 35" x 35" inches. The striking urban cityscape captures London’s iconic Shard building, set against a moody evening sky. Hardy’s signature use of metallic surfaces adds an extra dimension to the scene, with the aluminum background subtly enhancing the interplay of light and shadow across the towering structure and surrounding buildings.

Hardy's background in urban landscapes is evident in his attention to architectural detail and atmospheric lighting, creating a sense of both grandeur and intimacy within the city. The Shard’s sharp, geometric form is highlighted by soft gradients in the sky, capturing a moment where natural and man-made elements coexist in harmony.

Known for his fascination with the juxtaposition of organic forms and the bold lines of cityscapes, Hardy’s work combines realism with an abstract sensibility, allowing the viewer to appreciate both the details and the overall mood of the scene. This painting, with its cool tones of blues and greys accented by the glowing lights of the city below, provides a visually striking interpretation of one of London's most recognizable landmarks.
