Remember Me drawings by Anne Howeson
About
For the second part of her exhibition on urban regeneration, Jerwood Award-winning artist Anne Howeson presents a selection of new work from the King¹s Cross series.
With 20 graphic works, the exhibition is an emphatic response to the idiosyncratic mix of architecture, communities and cultures that makes up King¹s Cross. Inspired by the streets behind the station, including the gasometers and buildings of Good¹s Way, and the prostitutes who once plied their trade there.
The drawings celebrate the early Victorian buildings, tenement blocks and warehouse buildings near St Pancras and King¹s Cross, contrasting them with signs of regeneration like the Eurostar track emerging from the Barlow shed en route to Europe, and inventing a semi fictional future in the territory north of the station.
