About Reuben Powell These
are oil paintings on tin. Some on discarded oil-cans where the surface
has been burnt, scraped into and left to rust only to be reworked
on again. The most recent are painted on new sheets of thin, tin-plate
steel. They depict scenes from the River Thames; a journey from Tower
Bridge to the sea reaches and the decaying Red Sands Fort.The most recent are scenes from The Elephant and Castle: I am artist in residence in the Elephant and Castle where I have been running a gallery/studio from a disused shop. The Elephant and Castle regeneration is one of the largest regeneration projects in Europe. It will profoundly change this area. Living in the area for more than twenty years has given me an affection for this often maligned part of London. This work will provide an invaluable document of its time. It will exist as a snap-shot of a major change to London life seen from the perspective of the community affected.point of departure before the open sea. |
