Terrace Wires presents Chromolocamotion by David Batchelor

This year’s long awaited Terrace Wires installation, Chromolocomotion, by artist David Batchelor casts a rainbow of colour across St Pancras International. Hanging under the stunning Grade 1 listed Barlow Shed roof, the 20m x 10m mosaic work consists of 44 brightly coloured Perspex ‘L’ shapes slotted together in a geometric formation. This latest piece is the largest single artwork to occupy the fantastic space under the iconic Barlow Shed roof.

Chromolocomotion is the second installation commissioned by HS1 ltd, St Pancras International’s owners, as part of the Terrace Wires series which sees art suspended nine metres above the station’s platforms. Chromolocomotion follows Lucy + Jorge Orta’s hugely popular Cloud: Meteoros in welcoming the stations national and international visitors.
