Soon to brighten the January blues away and speed up our journey to spring is the Battersea Power Station Light Festival.
The annual show, now in its third year, returns on January 19 with its largest collection of installations to date. Curated in partnership with Light Art Collection, eight spectacular pieces of artwork from renowned international artists will be on display until March, illuminated both inside and outdoors the Grade II* listed beauty on our doorstep.
Among the artwork visitors will see is a light installation by Atelier Haute Cuisine, who has enlarged an every day object - the humble bath plug - to prompt consideration on the importance of clean water and society's consumption of it, in light of how much water is wasted 'going down the drain'.
Another artist to enlarge objects is UK based Studio Vertigo, who in a trip down a nostalgic lane has used the classic 90's toy, a Slinky, to show a city through a playful new lens.
Returning to the Power Station for the third year is the ever-popular Eternal Sundown by Mads Vegas, using 140 energy-saving LED tubes to create a post-apocalyptic sunset along The Coaling Jetty with Battersea Power Station as a backdrop.
Kate Boothman-Meier, Head of Marketing at Battersea Power Station Development Company (BPSDC), said: "Seeing our annual Light Festival return for a third year, bigger and brighter than before after such a successful 2022 is fantastic, with the majority of installations making their London or UK debut.
"It will also be the first-time hosting some pieces inside the iconic Power Station's Turbine Halls since it opened last October for people to discover and marvel at during their visit. We look forward to starting the new year bringing together some of the most innovative light artists for a bright and bold Light Festival that has something for all to enjoy."
The Festival is completely free and runs from 19 January - 5 March.
