The Telephone box on Coventry St is an original oil painting by Nick Grove.

Painted in 2022 by plein air painter and London Artist Nick Grove RSMA.

Built from lived looking rather than invention, it captures what drew the eye and wouldn’t let go. In urban scenes, the challenge is to keep the architecture solid while letting the atmosphere stay open and lived-in.

The aim was to keep it simple: strong shapes, believable light, and the feeling of being present. The painting was developed in a sequence of decisive passes, keeping the response fresh and unforced.

The hope is that it brings a sense of place into the room—quiet, steady, and real.
