Eduardo Paolozzi’s mosaics at the Tottenham Court Road Underground are one of London’s most iconic public works of art. Unfortunately, large sections were lost during the recent station restyling.
Thanks to the intervention of mosaicist Gary Drostle and his team, the sections of the destroyed panels were recreated using the colorful Orsoni Venetian Smalti to emphasize the brightest colors as red, green, yellow and blue.

The project has won two awards: “The Great Western Railways Craft Skills Award” in 2016 and “The Worshipful Company of Tylers and Bricklayers Triennial Award” in the wall and floor tiling section in 2017.
