The artwork in Embankment tube station, created by Robyn Denny and installed in 1985, represents a significant moment in London's transport history, reflecting a push towards modernist art. This shift arose from a larger refurbishment project approved in 1981 aimed at revitalizing various tube stations. Though the ambitious project involved multiple stations and a proposed £30 million budget, the artistic direction was largely influenced by the contractors at the time. Denny's work stands out as a rebellion against traditional landscape art, emphasizing abstract expressionism instead.
