“Waiting for You” is a striking limited edition print by the late Jeff Rowland, showcasing his unmatched ability to capture the mood and atmosphere of an urban landscape. Set against the iconic Brooklyn Bridge, Rowland’s mastery of light and reflection is evident in every detail. The muted tones of a rain-soaked night sky contrast beautifully with the vibrant colors spilling from Brandos Bar, where warm reds and oranges glow in the street, offering a welcoming oasis in the otherwise cool, monochromatic scene. A yellow cab cuts through the composition, its bright hue providing a bold counterpoint to the subdued palette of the cityscape.
This work is a testament to Rowland’s gift for evoking emotion through his meticulous attention to detail. The texture of the wet pavement and the fleeting motion of the cab transport the viewer to this quiet, cinematic moment in time—a rainy New York City night filled with anticipation. Through his distinctive use of light, color, and atmosphere, Rowland imbues “Waiting for You” with a sense of solitude, reflection, and the subtle beauty of one of the world’s most iconic cities.

Jeff Rowland was born in 1964 – he recalled being inspired to create art from a young age, as he watched his grandmother working with oil paints. He studied art at Newcastle Tyneside College, and made his first attempt at becoming a self-employed professional artist in 1984. After struggling to find success, he was determined to hone his focus and skills, and studied advertising and illustration at the Newcastle School of Design.
Following this, Rowland was able to create a collection that earned him great success, exhibiting in Northumberland and then in London. Increasing sales enabled him to continue working in his desired career as a full-time artist.
Rowland was known for the commitment he showed to his work, and to creating art that was truly authentic. He immersed himself in the scenes he created – for example, before painting a series of scenes featuring fishermen and trawlers, he went out on a north sea trawler to experience the work first hand.
In the latter years of his life, Rowland was based in the north east of England, where he was able to find inspiration for his ongoing works. He died in 2018 at the age of 55, following a battle with Leukaemia.
