The Barbican Conservatory Illustrated Art Print
It’s always sunny at the Barbican Conservatory. Such a happy place even in winters with people relaxing, sketching, practicing watercolours or just having a wander about with coffee. This illustration took me a good while to compose, but I absolutely love it. The abundance, the colours, the warmth.
When I showed the illustration to a friend he looked surprised “What Barbican… A conservatory? I didn’t even know. I should check it out!”
Mission accomplished. I want people to be surprised and curious about the hidden places in London, and not another Big Ben poster.
But it’s truly amazing how the Barbican has so many surprises within. One of the most iconic examples of Brutal architecture. The conservatory wraps around the huge fly tower that supports scenery for the theatre beneath your feet, and while the concrete of the Barbican is still very evident, it adds to the overall effect.
It feels like a part of a dystopian movie set, where the plants have taken over the concrete! This is the capital’s second biggest conservatory after Kew, and quite a hidden gem.
