Art Below at Baker St. By Alistair KennedyArt Below at Paddington by Alistair Kennedy

Two images from the vicious bulwark exhibition have been selected for display on two separate London Underground stations. The Exhibition, called Art Below, gives selected artists, from all over the world, a chance to show their work to thousands of commuters daily. The two works will be situated at Baker Street Station (Metropolitan Line, Platform 1) and Paddington Station (District Line, Platform 1 Westbound). The Exhibition runs from 29th June – 17th July 2009. Click here for BBC Radio Derby Interview

A third image (East Coker) pictured here in the centre, would also have been part of the exhibition had Transport for London not deemed it 'unsuitable for display'. Their reason for this being that the red paint splatter on the bottom left of the image looks a little too like graffiti!?
