Art on the Underground’s programme for 2025 comprises major new works from four contemporary artists
Since its conception in 2000, Art on the Underground has been at the forefront of critically engaged programming that reflects on the changing nature of public space, challenging the idea that public art is fixed.
Through placing trust in artists and the creative process, the programme has a renowned history of commissioning site specific work that speaks to people, places, and histories. 2025 continues that tradition with a series of commissions that allow for meaningful and expansive conversations between artists and the public. 2025 will see a large-scale collaborative artwork by Ahmet Öğüt at Stratford station in collaboration with New Contemporaries, a new audio commission by Rory Pilgrim for millions of commuters at Waterloo station, and a new painting by Rudy Loewe at Brixton Underground station, continuing its series of commissions that respond to the rich history of murals in the area from the 1980s, and the wider social and political history of mural making.
In its breadth and presence across London, the 2025 programme reflects on the history and movement of the city today.
Art on the Underground’s 2025 programme features major commissions situated across London including:
