“这是我第一座桥梁！Adams Plaza Bridge是一座迷人的结构，所以我希望利用现有的结构作为画布。这座长隧道般的桥梁建筑非常鼓舞人心，我想强调这种夸张的透视感。调色板和图案创造出一种动感和惊喜的感觉。我希望它能给每天经过这里的所有人带来笑容。” —— 卡米耶·瓦拉拉（Camille Walala）

2020年8月，卡米耶·瓦拉拉受邀成为首届伦敦壁画节的主要参与者之一——这是一个为期一个月的全市活动，期间由当地和国际艺术家共同创作了超过20幅新的大型壁画。作为东伦敦居民超过20年的卡米耶，很高兴能够以Adams Plaza Bridge作为她在此次节日中的画布，给了她一个机会在这个伴随她整个艺术生涯的环境中留下另一道永久的印记。

Adams Plaza Bridge是码头区较为知名的结构之一，它连接着加拿大广场一号楼与建筑惊人的Crossrail Place，后者拥有美丽的屋顶花园公园。每天都有数百人通过这里，但在卡米耶揭开她的作品之前，很少有人会转头欣赏周围的环境。

卡米耶的起点是桥的隧道式建筑。她开发了一种乙烯基设计，旨在夸大这种夸张的透视感，使用精心挑选的图案和色彩调色板，传达向前运动的感觉，并给行人带来一种动态移动的惊喜感。

伦敦壁画节结束后，这件作品仍保留在原处，成为了这片地产结构的一部分，使得卡米耶·瓦拉拉成为了为金丝雀码头非凡的公共艺术收藏贡献的50位世界知名艺术家之一。

“我们非常激动，能够邀请到世界上最具启发性的艺术心灵之一来为Adams Plaza Bridge设计这件作品。这是一次雄心勃勃的安装，这座桥从未以这种方式被赋予生命。” —— Lucie Moore，金丝雀码头集团艺术与活动主管

Adams Plaza Bridge in Canary Wharf

“This is my first bridge! Adams Plaza Bridge is a fascinating structure so I wanted to use what was there as a canvas. The architecture of the long tunnel-like bridge is really inspiring and I wanted to accentuate the feeling of this exaggerated perspective. The palette and patterns create a sense of movement and surprise. I hope it brings a smile to all of the people that will pass through it every day.” – Camille Walala

In August 2020, Camille Walala was invited to be one of the leading names taking part in the inaugural London Mural Festival – a month-long city-wide event that saw more than 20 new large scale murals created across London, by a selection of both local and international artists. As a resident of East London for over 20 years, Camille was delighted to be given Adams Plaza Bridge in Canary Wharf as her canvas for the festival, giving her an opportunity to leave another permanent mark on the landscape that has surrounded her throughout her artistic career.

One of the more recognisable structures on the Wharf, Adams Plaza Bridge links One Canada Square to the architecturally astonishing Crossrail Place, with its beautiful roof-garden park. Many hundreds of people pass through every day, but until Camille unveiled her work, few of them had any reason to turn their heads and admire the surroundings.

Camille’s starting point was the bridge’s tunnel-like architecture. She developed a vinyl design that would exaggerate the feeling of exaggerated perspective, using a palette of carefully selected patterns and colours that would convey a feeling of forward motion and surprise pedestrians with a sense of dynamic movement.

The artwork remained in place after the close of the London Mural Festival and has become a permanent part of the fabric of the Estate, making Camille Walala one of  50 world-renowned artists who have contributed to Canary Wharf’s extraordinary collection of public art.

“We’re thrilled to have one of the world’s most inspiring artistic minds design this piece for Adams Plaza Bridge. It’s an ambitious install and never has the bridge been brought to life in such a way before.” – Lucie Moore, Head of Arts + Events, Canary Wharf Group
