BRIXTON STATION MURALS 1986
MURAL 2 BRIXTON STATION
BRIXTON STATION MURALS
Brixton Station was refurbished in 1986 and National Rail approached local artists Karen Smith and Angie Biltcliffe also known as Anchor Designs to create two new works for the station. The colourful abundance of food and wares sold in Brixton Market inspired Smith and Biltcliffe and became the main focus of the murals. These images reflected the multicultural communities that developed in Brixton as a result of post war immigration.
Painted on the station platform with emulsion on marine ply.
​Still in situ today.

RECAP
Folly
Looking for inspiration in the landscape.
Painting what you see and interpreting this into colour, shapes, form and emotion.
Sydenham woods where stands a fallen folly leaving just small aspects of its original structure. This is not an attempt to capture an accurate depiction of a visual reality but using an immediate response to the landscape in gestural form.
