Artwork description:

FRAMED VERSION: A wood engraving of a rat's eye view of Arsenal Station on the Piccadilly line of the London Underground. The foreground is dominated by the distinctive truncated domes of the platform's tactile strip.

This is the only Tube station to be named after a football club. However, until 1932 the station was called Gillespie Road, and the original wall tiling still bears this name.

This work was awarded the Highly Commended Drawing prize by the Society of Graphic Fine Art, October 2015.

This print is mounted, framed and glazed. The print is also available UNFRAMED via Artfinder.

Wood engraving is a traditional form of fine art printmaking. The artist uses specialised tools to create the image in relief (and reverse) on the end grain of a block of hardwood - usually boxwood - by removing the 'white' parts of the image. This technique is painstaking and highly technical, and allows for the creation of exquisitely detailed works. Rebecca's wood engravings have been exhibited in the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition, with the Society of Wood Engravers, and in galleries across the world from Japan to the USA.

Materials used:

Wood engraving, ink on paper
