Brixton Rec London Art Print, Brutalist London.
On the overground passing through Brixton you just cannot miss it! The logo, the icon, the bold font. Seems so stark, imposing or dystopian for a recreation centre, but just works. Designed by George Finch, this is the second building after the Lambeth Towers I had been keen to illustrate for a while.
Splashed it with colour...in the spirit of the vibrant multicultural diversity of Brixton that I've loved being a part of. I also chose the view as seen from the train, just because I love trains, stations, tracks and window seats! One of the lovliest ways to see London from a different angle.
The Brixton Recreation Centre stands as a beacon of architectural innovation and community empowerment. The construction programme began in 1974, and finally completed in 1985.
