<strong>"From the greenway" (2003). </strong>The East End transformation is exemplified in this painting of skyscrapers in Canary Wharf, London's financial district, which has seen many more get added since. "I have an older painting than this where there's just one skyscraper, like an erect penis, standing in the landscape like a declaration of wealth and Western power. Now it's like the New York skyline," McFadyen says.

<strong>"Pink Flats" (2006).</strong> McFadyen has transported this block of social housing flats found in Shoreditch, East London, to a more serene location on the river Lea, outside of the city. Why? Because the block once enjoyed great views of the Grand Union Canal, before luxury apartments were erected in front of it, obscuring the view.
