Projects
We are currently working on:
"Silhouettes" series
With the help of young offenders the studio is creating a fantastic range of art for the Silhouettes series. The project does what the title says, with striking imagery being produced.
Hopefully to inspire both the young artists involved in the creative process, but also for those who stop to admire the works.
Portrait works
Some portraits currently undertaken are of local, inspirational women from the Southbank, Lambeth area inconjunction with the Arts Council.
While others are of amazing, international women - with a hope that they will support our Campaign for Jubilee Gardens. Please join us and support us on our ongoing goal to make more of London beautiful.
Young Queen Victoria in progress. Please join the Facebook page for further updates: Campaign for Jubilee Gardens Facebook page.
Thank you.
Blake's Lambeth
Video by Fernand Pena of the Blake mosaics in Centaur Street.
Southbank Mosaics are leading the way in turning the area around where William Blake lived, in Hercules Road, into Blake's Lambeth. With two mosaic translations of his work outside Waterloo station, twenty four mosaics in Centaur street, four ceramic plaques of interpretations, ten sound boxes and seven mosaics in Carlisle Lane, the neighbourhood is gradually being enhanced with visual images from his Lambeth works. William Blake wrote in 1809 that he wanted to see his work enlarged and put into public space.
Supported by the Heritage Lottery Fund, run by Southbank Mosaics in partnership with Southbank Sinfonia and the Futures Theatre Company, Blake's Lambeth is half way through a ten year programme which will extend into Virgil Street and along Carlisle Lane. The mosaics will be seen by over an estimated 30,000 people a year and are designed to create a deeper understanding of his work amongst local people and visitors who may not be aware of this very influential artist's local links. The project will have real benefits for Lambeth's multicultural community, broadening the understanding of Blake's work and keeping his legacy alive for everyone to learn about. Although he lived from 1757 to 1827, Blake resonates with contemporary culture because of his principled independence, interests in freedom, and his strong belief that all are equal and united.
