Saturday 16th June: Lakwena at Seven Sisters

Lakwena's new installation in Seven Sisters "TOGETHER WE STAND", referencing the seven trees that the place has been named after.  Commissioned by @tottenhamnow_arts who you can see with Lakwena is these shots when I visited half way thru to capture the work in progress.  The colourful focal point at the junction is now finished and ready to provide a colourful seat for residents to rest their legs and congregate to socialise.  A new addition to the pockets of bright artworks revitalising our city.

Tuesday 12th June: "Colour Transfer" by Liz West

Chasing rainbows on my Canyon Roadlite and finding “Colour Transfer” by Liz West for British Land at Paddington Basin.  Thanks to Rhian Mclaren for the location inspiration!  This is such a cosmic discovery to come across whilst winding your way along the canal tow path.  Infact, probably the best new piece of public art in London right now!  It nestles perfectly in this hidden pocket of a Brutalist style concrete bridge.  The spectrum of metallic angular facets creates an optical illusion as you pass.  It's like the inside of a kaleidoscope for all to see and enjoy.  There are even two adjacent public ping pong tables for the best backdrop to a game of alfresco table tennis this Summer! 

I have also included here snaps of the Sir Peter Blake pattern painted barge at Paddington to make sure that you see both when you visit.

Wednesday 1st Nov: SUPERFLEX'S ONE TWO THREE SWING!

Danish artist's collective Superflex have filled the Turbine Hall of the Tate Modern with swings made of seats for 3 people.  Kitty, Fatima and I went down to have a go and of course see the spectrum flooring which covers the great expanse of the the old power station.  It's not evident that the carpet has any seams so it appears all one piece.  Incredible!  Turns out that it perfectly matches our current hair colours with pink and violet............... serendipity...........

See "One Two Three Swing!"  until 2nd April

Wednesday 23rd August: Craig & Karl's Petrol Station installation

To complete my street-art tour of London's graphic & optical murals, I visited White City where the artists Craig and Karl have brought colour to a derelict petrol Station on Wood Lane.  The pastel pink roof should be replicated in all petrol stations in my opinion!  Obviously its my dream scenario for an instagram-friendly fuel stop!  I spent ages snapping all the different angles of this public artwork in West London.  It's totally magic and I'd love to see more commissions like this over the city!
