I've photographed 'Drawing for Free Thinking' by David Tremlett in the lobby of Tate Britain before but never been happy with the composition. Really happy with this one and the fact the woman is wearing a mask was the cherry on the icing on the cake.

 

When I visited Tate Britain a few weeks ago it was probably the quietest I've ever seen it. Due to lingering Covid restrictions it was advance tickets only so that may well have been a part of it.

From the Tate Press Release, "Drawing for Free Thinking is a new wall drawing for Tate Britain, designed to wrap around the Manton stairwell. Inspired by the long tradition of twentieth-century constructivism and by David Tremlett’s involvement in conceptual art in the 1970s, Drawing for Free Thinking consists of broad blocks of strong colour, straight lines, squares and rectangles. It explores floor plans and architectural features the artist has encountered at the gallery such as doorways or windows abstracted into geometric shapes. Tremlett and his team of assistants work with pastel crayons which they rub directly onto the wall with the palms of their hands.

 

The work forms part of the Tate Britain Millbank Project refurbishments."
