A TEAM of artists have been chosen to transform four of Plymouth’s busiest subways with artworks that reflect the city’s “humour, positivity and colour”.
Plymouth Culture has worked with the city council and Plymouth City Centre Company to commission the project, which will bring new life to the North Cross roundabout subways.
Plymouth artists Sue Lewry and Eleanor Tomas have been selected for the project to re-imagine the set of subways. Work on the first subway has already started and will include abstract images of the sea and moors and messages that show off Plymouth’s identity.
One wall pointing towards the sea will be emblazoned with the words “lookin’ swell” and one heading towards Dartmoor will say “gimme moor” highlighting two very well-known attributes that Plymouthians take pride in.
The underpasses, built as part of the roundabout in the 1970s, are a short walk from the railway station which is currently undergoing a significant regeneration project, and the new artwork will be seen by thousands of visitors and residents.
