Exhibition "ONLINE" features powerful sculptures of the human form designed to integrate into the architecture of the Victorian station. The way in which the translucent characters and their projected shadows interact is a dynamic optical analogy of human intercourse.
In the context of Gloucester Road this exhibition is about signs, signals and human interaction. The character is deliberately ambiguous so as to "strike chords" of feelings and impressions in the viewer's mind.

"TUNNELVISION" is one of the large artworks first exhibited at the inaugural exhibition by "Platform for Art" at Gloucester Road Tube Station.
This stainless steel-mesh sculpture is an unusual artwork: The spreadeagled figure with arms and legs apart is surrounded by a modelled brickwork hemisphere. The brick pattern echoes the brickwork arches of underground stations, the small figure assumes a dominance completely out of proportion to his size, imposing a very strong presence due to strong shadow projections.
The human figure is reminiscent of the "Vitruvian Man", the famous drawing by #Leonardo da Vinci. This pen and ink study explores the ideal human proportions, which were described by ancient Roman architect Vitruvius as the principal source of proportion among the Classical orders of architecture.

Similarly David Begbie created over time a series of idealised proportions as contemporary archetypes for both male and female and which predominate throughout his figurative sculpture.
