Etching as Architecture: A New Mural by Norman Achroyd, AKA, RE The mural in the entrance hall ofRed Lion Court, London SE1 is the outcome of a remarkable story of support and collaboration between the artist, the architect, and the client. Architects frequently shy away from commissioning artists because they find themselves in an unenviable position in the middle. They are blamed if the end result is less than satisfactory or if the artist is left feeling misunderstood and aggrieved. In this case harmony reigned, and the result is both subtle and arresting.
