L'art prend le metro - Le Tropolitain


Another tube station, recently discovered. I doubt I have ever been to this one before. The Gribaumont station shows the art of Roger Nellens (b. 1937), an artist fascinated with futuristic machines. This 14m long art work shows three machines, which in reality would never work (the assembly doesn't make mechanical sense) but as an art work convince you of the beauty of the Tropolitain. The artist is known to have said 'the metro - adventure - creativity'. Le Tropolitain.

That's been there a few years that I know of. I used to live around the corner. Funny, I never really noticed it - the pic has jogged my memory though - thanks!
