Bruce McLean: Sculptural Railings
1992 | steel | Fisherman’s Walk, Wren Landing (exterior) | Art Map reference: B11
Bruce McLean’s intervention at Canary Wharf is the sculptural railing alongside Fisherman’s Walk. The 40-metre long charcoal steel rail is heavily worked with shapes, faces, circles and squares, true to his style. McLean challenges the traditional structure of the railing, subverting the straight line with wit and vigour.
McLean has worked on numerous architectural schemes in collaboration with architect Will Alsop, including the Queen Mary College School of Medicine & Dentistry in Whitechapel.
