Ian Davenport’s “Poured Lines: Southwark” Is a 50 by 3 metre Liquid enamel painting on steel running under Southwark Bridge. The work is so successful as if adds vibrancy to the gloomy experience of walking under the bridge. In addition the aesthetics of the work relate to the painted road markings and contrast with the heavy engineering textures of the bricks and painted steel of the bridge.
fantastic street photo.
Thanks Jonathan
fantastic shot! The art work is so mesmerising and strangely works perfectly against that urban background, thanks for sharing!
agreed, the artwork really works as it understands the urban context – unlike so much public art which ends up looking like the council’s desires were more important than the artist’s!
