Underground Art
For years now, the London Underground have been running their underground art programme ´Platform For Art´ in order to promote London´s eclectic art scene and to entertain and enlighten commuters on the cities bustling underground.
Last week some of our Possen tailors visited old friends on Savile Row and took the time to travel to Gloucester Road Tube station. It has been graced with the imaginative and beautiful work of artist Chiho Aoshima , who´s digital prints on vinyl cover all 17 arches of the underground station.
"City Glow, Mountain Whisper", is on display until the end of the month and is Aoshima´s first solo exhibition. The inspiring landscape she has created sees the scene graduate from day to night and from urban to rural. With such a rich visual focal point to enjoy whilst traveling, one can almost enjoy the daily commute.
We thought it is good to save the artwork here, so the cityplanners of Amsterdam someday might be inspired to take their own new North-South subway to a higher level.
