“Some colours for all the travellers: for joy and hope, for love and unity. More than a thousand tiles, all different but all the same“.
Mademoiselle Maurice is an established street artist who works mainly with origami and tiles, creating colourful spaces of abstractions in cities all around the world.
Her new mural, titled Rainbow Road covers platform 1 of the rail station in Maryland, London. It is composed with more than a thousand tiles, all hand painted with a rainbow colour palette.
The motif for the mural was inspired by Beckett’s play “Waiting for Godot”, where two people wait endlessly in a station for someone who never arrives. The piece questions the importance – or unimportance – of time. Is time spent waiting meaningless?
With Rainbow Road Maurice wants to look at the tiles composing the mural as train passengers and dedicate her wall to them.
