Green Space

If you’re looking for an antidote to the hustle and bustle of the city, there are acres of parkland in and around Kensington to explore. Hyde Park is a short walk away and never fails to impress with its sprawling greenery, the Serpentine and its iconic landmarks. In the summer the park is brought to life with concerts and its open-air theatre, while in winter the trees are filled with lights and visitors flock to its skating rink.

No walk around Kensington is complete without visiting Kensington Gardens, a sprawling 265 acres of greenery in the heart of the city.

The Art

To celebrate its launch, The Arts House has partnered with the Royal College of Art and commissioned work from at least two of its students to be featured within the development. The winning pieces will be inspired by The Arts House, celebrating it as a meeting point of heritage and modernity, as well as the local area’s history, architecture and way of life.

The Royal College of Art is set in a landmark building across from Kensington Gardens, just a short walk from The Arts House. Having such an esteemed institution in the neighbourhood is the perfect opportunity to form a partnership that represents the culture of Kensington – its artistic prestige and its innovativeness. By partnering with some of the most promising artists in London today, we hope to create works of art that will truly be at home here.

Fred Robeson

We are delighted to announce that Fred Robeson will be one of our commissioned artists in The Arts House. Two artists will have pieces featured in communal areas of the development as part of a partnership with the Royal College of Art, a landmark institution just a short walk away in Kensington. These artworks will reflect the heritage and modernity of The Arts House while supporting local artists.

Robeson has a BA in Fine Arts from the Academie Minerva in the Netherlands and Hunter College, New York. In 2014 he came to London to complete an MA in Printmaking before embarking on his PhD in Fine Art Performance at the Royal College of Art. His skillset spans painting, sculpture and video as well as printmaking and performance. This multi-media approach brings a unique perspective to his work. He works under multiple heteronyms as a rebellion against individualism. He imaginatively embodies each character and use their story to create works of art that represent something more significant than any single artist. His approach plays with the boundaries of fiction and reality, as his characters become real through his work.

Reconstructing the Future, a work by the heteronym Fred Robeson spans old and new perspectives of The Arts House and the surrounding area, incorporating several methods to create a collage of impressions. Using photographs taken by himself and old images found in archives, Robeson drew digitally over to collage to create a fragmented aesthetic that makes viewers think of the past and future. Robeson says that this approach is intricately tied with the back story of the character he created behind it – an architect who is tired of the rules and regulations within architecture yet has a desire to celebrate cityscapes and redevelopment. As cityscapes are a more traditional subject in fine art, he looks to bring this one into the modern day with his progressive approach.

Robeson acknowledges that artists find inspiration all around them, yet there is something special about the rich artistic fabric of Kensington, from its sprawling gardens to its old train station. Reconstructing the Future has been shaped by the area and the persona Robeson has created for it, so that as people in The Arts House view it, they will be inspired to think of the past and their role in a wider story. Many famous artists have made their impression on Kensington, and even if they aren’t there anymore, their artwork is, accompanying future generations as they create their own stories.

Shigetoshi Furutani

We are delighted to announce that Shigetosi Furutani will be one of our commissioned artists in The Arts House. Furutani was selected from a group of artists as part of the partnership between The Arts House and the Royal College of Art, a landmark institution just a short walk from the development. Two artists have been selected to create works that will be featured in communal areas of The Arts House to reflect its values of heritage and modernity through art.

Furutani is currently completing an MA in Printmaking at the Royal College of Art, having previously gained degrees in Design and Environmental Design from the Tokyo University of the Arts. Before coming to London he worked as a set designer for television, exploring the relationship between two-dimensional and three-dimensional art. However, five years ago he started to focus on his art full-time and found quick success as one of his works, Tokyo Dizzy Land received the Asia Digital Art Award Finalist Prize and was shown at the Saatchi Gallery.

Furutani’s piece for The Arts House, [A House of Southwell Garden], is a digital collage that has been conceived to also function as an archive for the building and surrounding area. “The idea came from an experience with an old picture,” he said. “It always made me imagine what kind of event happened, how people walked through and as time passed at that specific place.”

He hunted through archives for old photographs and illustrations and began to layer them. The piece was inspired by the work of Escher as well as the 16th – 18th century rakuchuu rakugai-zu (Views In and Around Kyoto), screen paintings by an unknown artist showing a melting pot of everyday life in a capital city. The viewer is offered a glimpse inside various rooms of The Arts House, while local landmarks and transport hubs surround it. White space punctuates the piece to represent Southwell Gardens.

By creating an archive, Furutani encourages people to consider the rich history of the area, with its artistic heritage and bustling social scene. However, it also prompts thoughts of the future and how the development will seem to those in centuries to come. One of the connecting themes throughout Furutani’s work is the desire to explore social phenomena and expand the limits of two dimensions in a world dominated by video and social media. [A House of Southwell Garden] does just this, offering a detailed and imaginative insight into life in Kensington, celebrating its past and future.
