We’re proud to share that ActionSpace artist Ian Wornast has been featured in Londonist: Urban Palette for his new permanent commission at the Unilever Campus in Kingston.
The feature, written by London art critic Tabish Khan, explores Ian’s creative process, his connection to Kingston, and the story behind the mural – a joyful and personal response to the area where Ian spent part of his childhood.
“I was so delighted that I got the commission… I met different communities and got some ideas.” – Ian Wornast, via Londonist
What’s in the work?
The mural captures Ian’s memories of Kingston alongside familiar sights from the local environment. Like much of his wider practice, it includes bold linework, vibrant colour, and references to public transport and architecture. It is both deeply personal and recognisably urban, a reflection of how Ian sees and maps the world around him.
“I do one piece at a time… When I was done with all six pieces, I put them all together.” – Ian
A Milestone for Ian
This commission represents a significant step in Ian’s artistic career, a permanent public artwork in a major location, and national recognition of his distinctive visual language.
We’re thrilled to see Ian’s work celebrated through Londonist’s Urban Palette newsletter and to continue supporting him as his practice develops.
With thanks to Tabish Khan and the Londonist for highlighting Ian’s work.
