About
This stunning solo exhibition by local artist Ross Ashmore entitled 'Going Underground forms the current exhibition at the new contemporary exhibition space created in the foyer of Watersmeet named 'Artistsmeet'.A selection of 30 paintings from Zone 1and 2 form this exciting display.
Ross Ashmore, a local artist from Rickmansworth, with a studio on the high street, has embarked on an ambitious task of painting all the London Transport Underground Stations ' of which there are 270. Ross has now completed all Zone 1 (64 stations) and is nearly half way through Zone 2 (100 stations).
Ross is hoping to keep the collection together until it is completed. One day he hopes for them all to be displayed as a whole, revealing the diversity and uniqueness of life in the Underground.
'I love the Underground' says Ross, 'I love the concept of going below ground and resurfacing somewhere else. A Doctor Who episode also did it for me as a youngster ' the 'Yetties' in the Underground!'.
