- View Subterranea: St Paul's
Artwork description
FRAMED VERSION: this print is also available unframed via Artfinder.
One of an ongoing series of original wood engravings exploring the unique atmosphere and architecture of London's Tube stations via light and dark, texture and space. By choosing unusual angles and viewpoints - and by removing almost all human presence - Rebecca's aim is to reveal the beauty of these underground tunnels in a way that even regular commuters might not recognise.
In this piece, a Central line train approaches St Paul's Tube station in central London.
Actual image size is 18x12cm; mounted, framed and glazed.
Wood engraving is a 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.
