| Description | This vast oil painting is by the leading Royal Academician John Bellany. It was commissioned by London Underground in 1987 as part of 'Art on the Underground'. This was a campaign launched in 1986 to encourage an artistic rather than a commercial approach to poster design. This painting was used in a poster promoting Underground travel to Camden Lock. The surreal scene is rich in symbolism and reflects the cultural diversity of the area. |
