‘Cinematic’ by Ira Prado
“As you can see my piece it is inspired on the front display of the movie theaters, it is half-way Art-Deco and Pop. The idea is to reflect that this city is everyone’s big scenario, where all of the stories happen.”

‘Gems’ by Syd Hausmann“When I got the brief for this project, one of the first things that popped into my head were the colourful, spiky potatoes that debuted a few years on London’s bus shelters – and how much I loved them. And I thought of all the things that made the city so wonderful: the people, the things to do, the diversity, the energy.. but it’s the unexpected surprises that truly delight me. From a potato on a bus shelter to a whole new area in London previously unvisited, my word had to be: hidden gems.”
