Eleanor Pinfield, Head of Art on the Underground hoped it would be “enjoyed by millions”.
“Claudette Johnson’s new artwork honours the Black female experience through this bold triptych, continuing Art on the Underground’s exploration of contemporary responses to muralism at Brixton station.
“Johnson combines a monolithic scale with an intimacy in our encounter with her subjects,” Ms Pinfield added.
Some of Johnson’s work is currently included in The Turner Prize exhibition at Tate Britain, alongside fellow nominees Pio Abad, Jasleen Kaur and Delaine Le Bas. The prize will be awarded on 3 December 2024 at a ceremony at Tate Britain.
Works by by Denzil Forrester, Joy Labinjo and Njideka Akunyili Crosby have previously been exhibited as part of the Art on the Underground project at Brixton station.
