London Transformed Poster

A vibrant poster by Paul Catherall featuring London's Routemaster and Kings Cross Station. Exclusive to London Transport Museum. This artwork was commissioned by LTM for the Transport Poster Art programme, sponsored by Clear Channel. The poster can currently be seen across the London Underground network and on Clear Channel bus shelters. Drawing inspiration from classic mid 20th Century poster design, propaganda art from the Soviet era and the work of artists including William Nicholson, Catherall combines an expert eye for composition and colour with consummate draughtsmanship to create striking and iconic images. Transport for London has been a regular and enthusiastic commissioner of his work. Catherall's architectural prints focus on structures that are part of the everyday urban environment. The subjects of his prints have included controversial London buildings such as the Elephant and Castle Shopping Centre, The National Theatre and Telecom Tower, as well as celebrated landmarks such as the Battersea Power Station, Tate Modern and New York's Flatiron and Brooklyn Bridge. In Catherall's work these are all strikingly unique architectural constructs served by natural light, which constantly transforms their shapes and silhouettes.
