Riding the London Tube can be an indifferent & claustrophobic experience. Down in the underground the rat race stops for no one; so it is best to keep your head down, find your place in the flow, and shuffle on.
In this mindset, imagine the ethereal, childlike effect that happens upon the commuter who stumbles out of the train and discovers the mural installation, City Glow, Mountain Whisper” by Superflat artist Chiho Aoshima at the Gloucester Road station. Part of the Platform for Art initiative, and her first solo project in the UK, Aoshima states that her work “feels like strands of my thoughts that have flown around the universe before coming back to materialise”.
A further glimpse into Aoshima’s world can be found here.
