Scrawled lines accrue into something genuinely unsettling: a falcon holds the foreground with the fixed authority of a heraldic device, while The Shard and the London Eye dissolve into sunset horizontals behind it. The chromatic friction between magenta outlines and blue-grey plumage keeps the bird from settling into the skyline it dominates. Bagley's hand refuses polish in a way that feels entirely deliberate.
