About the work
A red London double-decker bus - the most recognisable symbol of a city sold to the world as pageantry, history, and charm emerges through a slice in the canvas. Above it and around, red acrylic drips down a black surface.
The bus is cut from a tin print of a stock photograph. The kind of image that appears on fridge magnets, tea towels, and tourist merchandise. Clean, cheerful, instantly known.
The canvas it pushes through is not.
Londoom sits between two versions of the same city - the London of global imagination and the London of tabloid headlines, knife crime statistics, and fear. It doesn't argue for either. It holds them together and leaves the gap between them for the viewer to measure.
"Two versions of the same city. One is sold. One is feared." - Adam Noakes
