Adam Nathaniel Furman’s ‘Abundance’ installation London’s Paddington is conceived as an abstracted, ‘frozen garden’ that mesmerises
certainly does that, offering a welcoming burst of colour that unfolds in a strategic way across the square. Furman employed their extensive experience in using light, colour and texture to craft a design that is truly site-specific.
'Up close, the design is intended to create an immersive colour environment that is constantly transforming itself as you move along it, both because of the various colours arranged in such a way that they change in visibility as you pass, but also because of the level of gloss in the finish that incorporates the reflected context and daylight conditions, adding extra layers of richness to the experience,' Furman explains.
'A big part, other than the artwork, of the transformation of Sheldon Square was the introduction of more varied plants. It is not rocket science and it was pretty widely understood by urban planners up until recently that the inclusion of planting, natural elements, as well as crafted, artistic features in our urban realm is vitally important to making our cities feel more welcoming and enjoyable.
A key element in this public place's 21st-century transformation, the art piece is engaging and open to all to enjoy – just a stone's throw from Paddington Station and the adjacent canal route.
