Description: | This is one of a series of paintings by Robert Soden that depict stations along the Jubilee Line Extension during construction. They were commissioned by London Transport in 1998.
This painting depicts the end of a day's work at North Greenwich station. The highly complex structural process is near completion, and the station and its signage are just days away from the unveiling.
From this empty platform, Soden encapsulates the fundamental characteristics of North Greenwich station: the blue mosaic tiles, which provide a striking aesthetic effect as well as practical and hardwearing cladding; the earliest examples of platform-edge doors, and one of 21 V-shaped concrete columns that support the roof and from which the passenger concourse is suspended. | Format: | image/jpeg | Publisher: | London Transport Museum | Rights holder: | Robert Soden | Subjects: | Transport Art and Design | Temporal: | 1998 | Source: | London Transport Museum | Creator: | Artist : Robert Soden | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
