Tom Hunter: Flashback

About

Using objects from Museum of London's collections, photographic artist Tom Hunter has created a series of unique and surprising portraits, in celebration the opening of our new Galleries of Modern London in spring 2010. Like a time lord travelling from one period to the next, Hunter has stolen moments from several eras juxtaposing modern London icons like the Vespa scooter with a Museum designer dressed in a 1770s ‘panier' dress. The beautifully staged portraits are rich with colour yet intensely dark, reminiscent of the old masters style.
