Each five-foot porthole is mounted on the huge wall at the back of Chalkwell station. Hadleigh Castle, Southend Pier and Canary Wharf are just some of the famous structures that feature in Bryant\u2019s ten airbrushed images. Luke said: \u201cThe wall is around nine hundred feet long and I wanted to reflect the journey from the City to the seaside and the relationship between the railway line and the Estuary. \u201cIf you stand on Chalkwell Beach and walk towards Old Leigh, you\u2019ll be able to see \u2018through\u2019 the whitewashed brickwork to a landmark that you\u2019d see from a c2c train carriage window. My pictures have a nautical theme as a significant and beautiful part of the journey runs along the coastline.\u201d The 44-year old artist created ten panels in all, which are placed at ninety foot intervals along the station\u2019s exterior wall. Explaining why they commissioned the artworks, c2c\u2019s Managing Director Julian Drury said: \u201cLast year our senior team, including myself, donned our overalls to restore the paintwork on this vast wall, cleaning it up and improving its appearance for all the walkers on the popular sea path. \u201cOur efforts created a blank canvas for a local artist to showcase their talents, and we&#8217;re delighted Luke has created this artwork celebrating Southend and its links to such striking vistas along the c2c route.\u201d <strong>ENDS<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An impressive new artwork commissioned by Essex and East London train operator c2c is now on view to the public at Chalkwell.
