New Artworks by Mark Titchner Celebrate the London Bridge Community
Have you spotted Mark Titchner’s new artworks in London Bridge yet?
Team London Bridge has collaborated with Mark Titchner to celebrate the strength and solidarity of the community in a new series of artworks. This collaboration with Mark Titchner evolves his relationship with the area and brings focus to the dynamic cultural identity of London Bridge.
“The original concept for this series of artworks was based on the idea of offering a nurturing, reassuring presence as we ease back into our un/familiar streets. However, as I developed the texts for the works, I also felt a sense that this moment – despite all the difficulty – presents an immense opportunity; the opportunity to build a better version of what we had before. As such the aesthetic style of the works shifted away from something soothing towards something bold and celebratory. Reflecting a hope that despite all the challenges so far and those yet to come, we will be together again in the streets we know and love.” – Mark Titchner
A temporary pop-up poster campaign in collaboration with the BUILDHOLLYWOOD family of Jack, Jack Arts and Diabolical will showcase the 4 new artworks.
On view from 20 November 2020 for at least two weeks, the posters will feature in locations across London Bridge and Southwark, including at the entrance to London Bridge Bus Station on Borough High Street; opposite Southwark Cathedral; and at Vinegar Yard on St. Thomas Street. A selection of all 4 artworks will also be seen across London including prominent sites in the boroughs of Brent, Hackney, Hammersmith & Fulham, Islington, Kensington & Chelsea and Lewisham.
Further artworks have been installed in the London Bridge. Hope Reveals The World can be found in Newcomen Street by a busy gateway on the Quietway 1 cycle route leading off Borough High Street and opposite the Crol and Co café, while The Sun Rises Bright and Hope Reveals The World are located by the Low Line, in a railway arch between Pizza Pilgrims and Honest Burgers on Bermondsey Street, facing the busy Tooley Street and adjacent to one of the entrances to London Bridge mainline station.
