St Thomas’s Hospital 1975

Editor: This is David Gentleman’s "St Thomas's Hospital." It looks like a pencil drawing and reminds me of architectural plans. What strikes you most about this piece? Curator: For me, it's about how Gentleman captures the co-existence of different eras, that jumbling of histories, distilled through his sensitive line. Do you see how he uses the light to almost dissolve the modern elements, grounding the historical buildings? It's like a memory fading in and out. Editor: That’s a gorgeous reading of it. The dissolving is very evident. Curator: It makes me wonder, what will persist in our memory of this place? Perhaps that humble light post in the foreground! It's a reminder to find beauty in the everyday.
