Going underground

Cornelia Parker

Liam Gillick (Turner Prize shortlisted)

Mark Wallinger (Turner Prize Winner)

London Underground commissioned various creatives to produce a series of art works to be used across the tube network.
All of these cool images are inspired  the network itself....for example Cornelia Parkers abstract lines represent the various tube lines and so the colours used are true to colours of the lines on the map.
