Go Epsom is delighted to announce the installation of 5 new artworks at Epsom Station. They are a continuation of the 10 stunning posters which were unveiled last year, all created by talented artist Eliza Southwood. The new artworks are accompanied by explanatory text, intended to build awareness of Epsom’s place in history in an accessible, colourful and visual medium.
All station users will see the artworks as they either start or finish their journey into Epsom, the panels are replicated on both walls of the main concourse.
Spanning centuries, the panels tell a story. From the discovery of Epsom Salts, through the Spa Town period, the evolution of horse racing, famous residents, groundbreaking music therapy in the 1960s to the creative hub that is Epsom today. The art gently informs and prompts visitors to explore Epsom.
Karen Pengelly, BID Manager at Go Epsom commented
“Epsom station has been transformed into a vibrant, welcoming and interesting space. Eliza, the artist, interpreted the brief beautifully, she has done an outstanding job. Her work is stunning and features so much detail. Thanks also goes to local designer Cai Taylor and Southern Railways, this project has been a team effort all the way, it has been a true partnership effort”.
