Gloucester Road Underground Station
Chiho Aoshima
Platform for Art presents City Glow, Mountain Whisper, by Chiho Aoshima, a new commission for Gloucester Road Underground station and her first solo project in the UK.
Chiho Aoshima uses digital media to create unique and extraordinary worlds full of invented creatures in imaginary landscapes. The style of Japanese scroll paintings is evident in Aoshima’s work but the result is very different from that created by traditional painting techniques. She uses computer technology to create detailed and complex images of fantasy worlds. Here, the conventions of perspective and gravity give way to artificial environments that border on the psychedelic.
"My work feels like strands of my thoughts that have flown around the universe before coming back to materialise."
Each of the arches on the District and Circle line platform at Gloucester Road station contains a part of an elaborate composition that expands along the platform. It is a beautiful landscape that gradually transforms from day to night and from an urban to a rural scene, echoing the journeys of LU passengers. The vibrant colours and details keep the viewer’s gaze in constant motion.
Chiho Aoshima
City Glow, Mountain Whisper shows a timeless world created by contemporary technology. It suggests a utopian vision of the earth in which the past and future have collided and the boundaries between organic creatures and inanimate things have broken down. It alludes to the results of genetic, technological and environmental developments. A hybrid of the human, the animal, the plant and the man-made is proposed, and life is literally breathed into each building and mountain.
Chiho Aoshima is associated with the "superflat" movement, a term coined by artist Takashi Murakami - the simplified and emphatically two-dimensional forms employed by a generation of young Japanese artists. She has taken part in high profile projects and exhibitions and has a number of upcoming international projects including the Artpace Residency Program in Texas, a solo exhibition at MoCA Lyon, in France, and exhibitions at the Institute of Contemporary Art, Boston, and the Baltic Centre for Contemporary Art, Gateshead.

I loved this exhibition so much, that I went the extra stop to Gloucester Road quite a few times to see it. While I think the new installation is very good, I have to confess to missing Chiho''s work brightening up my day. I eqaully loved the pencil cartoon piece at Piccadilly Circus, but to my shame can''t remember the name of the artist. Have you ever considered working with the artists to take it the next step - working on the inside of carriages, or on a smaller scale oyster card holders even? The idea of being able to have a little reminder of the exhibitions with me everyday would be just fantastic!

Platform for Art''s current project, City Glow, Mountain Whisper by Aoshima, takes my breath away. Her work is bold, charming and inventive. It is my favourite PFA project thus far. I wish we could walk through the arches and enter that world! Thanks for bringing great art to the tube.

Past exhibition
I have became a great fan of chiho aoshima since visiting the baltic earlier this year. I am a BA media student, so seeing software tools i was just starting to learn used to such grand effect was insperational to me! Her dedication to her art is only higtened by skill nessasary to sucessfully create, and animate, such art using vector drawing tools.

Absolutely beautiful and probably one of my favorite examples of the Platform for Art programme I've seen. It works so wonderfully in the space - this beautiful glowing art amidst the stone. It always raises a smile when I come into Glouscester Road from the west - and makes up for the s-l-o-w-n-e-s-s of the District and Circle. Thank you so much for commissioning Aoshima for this. GORGEOUS

Chiho Aoshima - City Glow, Mountain Whisper
I've been seeing the posters for this platform art all over London for months, and every time, they caught my eye. I moved to Putney at the weekend, and as I was travelling home on the District Line, I found myself face to face with this amazing art at last, almost by accident. The images are absolutely beautiful - warm, tranquil, fascinating. I can't stop staring at them whenever I go through the station. I know that you can get limited edition prints of 'City Glow' but they cost a fortune. Is there any chance of being able to purchase postcards / small posters of this art? I would dearly love to have a copy of the images to look at after the exhibition has gone.

I was on my way to Sloane Square when I happened to see this exhibition as we pulled into Glocester Road station. What an impact! I actually stood up to get a better look! I hastily scribbled down the artists name as the train pulled out and made sure that I walked back to the station later on, so that I could get a much better. Fabulous. It is such a good idea and such fantastic artwork that it has actually made my day. Brilliant. Thank you. P.O.

Just Lovely
We made a special trip to go along and stand on the platform opposite to have a proper look. I kept whizzing by on the train and being stunned by it every time. It was good to take some time to take it all in. It's hard to imagine anything better replacing it... As everyone else has said, where are the posters!

What a sensational piece! It is transporting and uplifting. Seen the requests for posters etc but no response from PFA.

This is a truly beautiful, thought provoking and life affirming display. After seeing the artwork whilst passing though the station this weekend I made the effort to go back for a proper look. I'm so glad I did. City Glow, Mountain Whisper is a absolutely beautiful artwork. The colours mesmerise whilst the gentleness of the transition from day to night leavers the viewer looking back and wondering when night actually fell. A wonderful, wonderful artwork.
