One of a series of original wood engravings exploring the dynamic atmosphere and distinctive architecture of the London Underground.
In this piece, we look across the platforms at Mile End, between the distinctive square pillars which interrupt and frame fleeting vignettes of subterranean life.
As a former Tube commuter myself, I know that - packed full of busy travellers every day - the Underground can very easily be taken for granted. By choosing unusual angles and perspectives of near-deserted stations, my aim in this series of artworks is to help the viewer to rediscover and better appreciate these incredible subterranean man-made structures.
This print is mounted, framed and glazed. Unframed prints are also available on Artfinder.
Wood engraving is a traditional form of fine art printmaking. The artist uses specialised tools to create the image in relief (and reverse) on the end grain of a block of hardwood - usually boxwood - by removing the 'white' parts of the image. This technique is painstaking and highly technical, and allows for the creation of exquisitely detailed works. Rebecca's wood engravings have been exhibited in the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition, with the Society of Wood Engravers, and in galleries across the world from Japan to the USA.
