Modern Masters 2025
Charlotte Colbert at Battersea Power Station

New Public curates the second edition of ‘Modern Masters’ at Battersea Power Station, a free programme of contemporary art in partnership with London Craft Week. This annual programme celebrates the role of craftsmanship behind the work of modern masters. For 2025’s iteration,  the award-winning filmmaker and multimedia artist, Charlotte Colbert presents Chasing Rainbows.

Dreamland Sirens, located inTurbine Hall A, is a dual-coloured eye sculpture supported by a column of tears, with a reflective stainless-steel finish. The sculpture draws inspiration from Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland and invites viewers to reconnect with their inner dreamer, reflecting on the collective power of imagination in shaping the world around us.

In Turbine Hall B, stands Where Angels Live, a polished steel tree adorned with votive objects. This piece, inspired by Colbert’s travels through Mexico and her pilgrimage along the Camino de Santiago, serves as a meditation on the healing power of belief, and the beauty of cultural traditions.

These striking stainless-steel sculptures complement Radiant Reflections, Battersea Power Station’s Spring/Summer 2025 fashion campaign, which focuses on promoting body positivity and encourages visitors to look within and celebrate their reflections.

With thanks to London Craft Week, Battersea Power Station Development Company and Charlotte Colbert Studio.
