Artwork Description:
n 2005 Frank Creber was appointed the official artist in residence until 2012 for Water City, an ambitious new re-development programme centred around a network of local waterways in east London. Extending from the Olympic Park in the north to East India Dock in the south, the East End is once again being subjected to the force of rapid urban renewal which Creber is recording through drawings and paintings as the project develops; a project driven by a vision to create a true legacy for east London, both physical and social. this painting is called moving into the area and is about the speed of development in lower lea valley
and is in response to the anxiety often felt by the community at the sight of developers moving into their area
