Underground-Unchained

This large format canvas, attempts to reconcile the once in a generation shift that has taken place in our personal and group patterns of movement in a time of pandemic. It takes as its source Harry Beck’s iconic design for the Tube Map for London Underground, and reimagines it for the early 2020s. The colours echo Beck’s own primary hues and the continuous dynamic reflects the constrained,  yet frenetic movement of people and ideas during 2021, drawing at the same time on the abstract expressionist ghosts of the Post 1945 New York movement.
