Her figurative and interdisciplinary practice adopts an errant, diasporic framework, moving intuitively across media from drawing and painting to film, video, sound, and writing, to create immersive installations which affect and are affected by the environments they occupy, by time, gestalt, the layering of sound, the serendipity of loops, and the presence of the audience. Often inviting the participation of volunteers to create a nuanced collective voice in the making process, Boswell’s work investigates themes including protest, reclamation, grief, intimacy, migration, the body and its world-making. Her recent work considers the dichotomy of bodies of water as both repositories of painful historical experience and sites of renewal and hope. Boswell’s paintings, drawings, installations, and film & video works have been exhibited at galleries including Gagosian, Cristea Roberts Gallery, Dulwich Picture Gallery and Kettles Yard, and held in collections widely, including The British Museum, Los Angeles County Museum of Art, RISD, the British Film Institute’s National Archive and the UK Government Art Collection. She was the Bridget Riley Drawing Fellow at the British School of Rome in 2019, received the Lumière Award from the Royal Photographic Society in 2021, the Paul Hamlyn Award in 2019, and the Future Generation Art Prize’s Special Prize in 2017. Boswell was Whitechapel Gallery’s 2022 writer in residence and has presented her writing at institutions including Tate Britain, Victoria & Albert Museum, The Ford Foundation, and Loophole of Retreat Venice. She has had institutional solos at Autograph ABP, New Art Exchange and the Goteborg Konsthall, and participated in the Gothenburg International Biennial for Contemporary Art, the Biennale de l’Image en Mouvement (Switzerland), Prospect New Orleans, and the Lyon Biennale. Boswell was born in Nairobi, Kenya, and lives and works in London. Boswell is represented in London by Ben Hunter Gallery and in Berlin by WENTRUP. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/566c5171dc5cb43cee202537/cd613a87-1409-4316-8df8-1c348458824e/PHOTO-2026-03-25-09-00-35.jpg Home - Make it stand out we move through scales of blue is a series of four new large-scale artworks by artist Phoebe Boswell for the escalators at Bethnal Green and Notting Hill Gate stations, on view from March 2026. Phoebe Boswell’s multidisciplinary practice includes, but is not limited to, painting, drawing, video, animation, sound and interactivity. Her figurative artworks explore freedom, grief, intimacy and migration through a Black feminist diasporic lens and denote a commitment of care for how we see ourselves and each other. Her recent work has considered bodies of water as both repositories of painful historical experience and sites of renewal and hope. we move through scales of blue convenes these ideas, exploring water as a container for resistance, joy, remembrance and possibility. The Tube shares its space beneath the city with a labyrinth of lost rivers and waterways. Notting Hill Gate runs close to the course of the River Westbourne and Bethnal Green to the River Walbrook. Both rivers were diverted underground in the nineteenth century paralleling the development of the Tube which diverted the flow of passengers beneath London’s surface in the same period. we move through scales of blue traces the notion of the waterway, evoking aquatic journeys and migratory routes to, from, and within London. Guided by the hydro-feminist view that all bodies of water are connected, this new work is conceived as ‘a call to the surface’ – an invitation to a collective consciousness about the world we inhabit. This builds on Boswell’s ongoing practice of reclaiming water for Black diasporic communities, after she encountered the Black Swimming Association’s statistic that 96% of Black British adults don’t swim. Following a call out to local swimming communities, we move through scales of blue features multi-layered photographic tableaus of Black swimmers who have made London their home, or whose families have migrated here across generations. Boswell gathered reflections from participants about their relationship with water, creating space for their stories and inviting us to consider those held within our own bodies. Participants were photographed underwater, responding intuitively to prompts from Boswell. Utilising traditional stop-frame animation techniques, Boswell has layered still images into complex sequences which are brought to life by passengers’ movement up and down the escalators. This echoes early forms of moving image, where the illusion of movement is created through a sequence of still images. At Bethnal Green and Notting Hill Gate stations, it is both the escalator and the people travelling on it that combine to animate the work. With we move through scales of blue, Boswell asks us to consider water as a site of endurance, migratory trauma, healing and collective agency.
