Urban Fragments - Caroline Bowder-Ridger

Urban Fragments by Caroline Bowder‑Ridger is a compelling exploration of urbanity distilled into oil on canvas. The 102 × 76 cm work dissolves the city into layered blocks of slate-blue, teal and steel-grey, disrupted by subtle arcs and soft edges.

Textured brush-marks, scraped surfaces and layered pigmentation evoke walls weathered by time, graffiti-scarred facades and remnants of human presence. The compositional abstraction feels rooted in place. Its fragments point to memory, transition and regeneration within the built environment.

Bowder-Ridger has exhibited as part of the Dulwich Festival, at the Brick Lane Gallery. For a collector seeking investment in contemporary abstraction, Urban Fragments offers nuanced depth, a clear provenance and the kind of distinct visual identity that signals both aesthetic strength and a promising future.
