EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the mesmerizing Torsion Fountain, located in the courtyard of the iconic Shell Centre in London. The Shell Centre stands proudly as the British headquarters of the Royal Dutch Shell oil company, constructed in 1961 on a section of land that once hosted the Festival of Britain on the South Bank. The Torsion Fountain itself is an extraordinary sculpture created by Czech artist Franta Belsky. Its intricate design and graceful curves evoke a sense of movement and fluidity, perfectly complementing its surroundings. As water gracefully cascades down its polished surface, it creates a tranquil oasis within this bustling cityscape. The photograph showcases not only Belsky's artistic brilliance but also highlights London's rich architectural heritage from the 1960s. The vibrant colors captured in this image bring life to every detail, emphasizing both the beauty and significance of this landmark. Through Peter Thompson's lens, we are transported to this enchanting courtyard where art seamlessly intertwines with industry.
