“Showing an interest in the classical world that echoes ancient historical Empirical models, he fuses old and new, magnificently. Yeoman’s debt to the old Impressionist’s shadowy effects play in the natural light, accentuating reflective colour from building to building, which allows great emphasis to be given to contours of long, thin brushstrokes of thick impasto paint capturing the concentrated essence of the subject, rather than its details.”
