Underground presents drawings made between 2023 and 2025 on the London Underground by London-based painter Susie Hamilton. Completed in pen or pencil on paper, or in mixed media on paper, cardboard or scraps of torn canvas she calls Rags, these works focus not only on travel within the depths of the earth but on the Underground as a metaphor and place of metamorphosis.
This publication by Hamilton, represented by Paul Stolper Gallery, London, features a foreword by Eleanor Pinfield, an interview with writer Amah-Rose Abrams, an extended thematic essay by writer and multi-disciplinary scholar Dr Matthew Holman and an essay by Hamilton herself.
