Bone, Soot and Oil.

Bone, Soot and Oil. <br> Earl Pumping Station, London

'Bone, Soot and Oil' - the second of two permanent public artworks commissioned by Thames Tideway for Earl Pumping Station in London.

The artwork draws inspiration from the historic whaling trade that once dominated the nearby Greenland Dock during the 18th century. The piece reinterprets the traditional technique of scrimshaw (etching on whale bone and teeth) through the use of lava stone and ceramic glaze. An abstract pattern of carved black lines moves across an ivory surface, echoing both the ventral grooves of a whale’s underside and the rippling of water above a vast hidden form.

Material Affinities and Tropical Dreams. <br> Almeida and Dale, São Paolo

The group show 'Material Affinities and Tropical Dreams' has opened at Almeida & Dale in São Paulo (20 Oct 2025 - 10 Jan 2026) Featuring works by Lubna Chowdhary, Anwar Jalal Shemza, Ayesha Sultana, Balraj Khanna.

“Distilled from (and inspired by) the expression ‘Tropical Modernism’, fusing the states of ‘being tropical’ and ‘becoming modern’, the exhibition draws on references from deep time – from an age when stars and line-drawings were the first civilizational languages, to the formation of new aesthetics and nationalist vocabularies in the second half of the 20th century. Curated by Mario Ashley D’Souza.

Woodblock Prints. <br> Cristea Roberts Gallery

Lubna Chowdhary unveils her first suite of woodblock prints for Cristea Roberts Gallery. Lubna has chosen to combine meticulously registered woodblock with etching; the resulting images relate to her paintings, the colours and gloss to ceramic glazes, but ultimately, they are borne of the unique combination of copper, wood, ink and paper.

The prints and her new ceramic works will be on display in the group exhibition 'Ways of Making, Ways of Thinking' (19 September - 18 October 2025)

Tideway Greenwich

Optical Flow. <br> Tideway Greenwich

Lubna Chowdhary has completed a new artwork - Optical Flow - commissioned by Tideway for the listed Greenwich Pumping Station in London. This permanent commission responds to site-specific narratives and references the revolutionary impact of the railway and its social and economic influence.
Lubna’s artwork was inspired by the site’s history of railway signalling. The adjacent track, one of the world’s oldest and longest railway viaducts is part of the London & Greenwich Railway, which was London’s first metropolitan railway, connecting London Bridge to Greenwich in 1838.
