Specialist note

This work is a classic 1960s landscape produced in London. The characteristic lopsided houses and rich primary colours, fractured with bold black lines, creates a world of choreographed chaos and vigorous energy that is Souza's unique perspective.

Nature vibrates, pulsates, and our impulses are in sync with Nature's vibrations whether we are conscious of it or not!
(F.N. Souza, 'Amusing Musing', 1992)
