JACQUELINE PONCELET: NEW PERMANENT ARTWORK AT EDGWARE ROAD UNDERGROUND STATION

If you live in London and have taken the Circle line this week you may have seen ‘Wrapper’, a permanent work of art by Marsden Woo Gallery associated artist Jacqueline Poncelet. This work has been made especially to clad the new building and perimeter wall next to Edgware Road Tube station.

Poncelet’s passion for pattern and colour can be seen in the grid of vitreous enamel designed by her to cover the building. Each vivid and richly coloured pattern connects and responds to a different part of the local area and tells the story of its history and environment. It is the largest work created by Poncelet to date and is also the largest vitreous enamel artwork in Europe.

For more information on this vibrant work, please visit the TfL’s Art on the Underground website here and be sure to keep an eye out next time you pass through Edgware Road!

    As Senior Project Manager for A J Wells & Sons Ltd who produced and installed the cladding panels, I must say that the artist was a pleasure to work with.
