We Might Not Have Mount Fuji,

but we do have the BT Tower,

that was the thought of London-based artist Edward Luper, who grew up looking at one of his city’s landmarks: the BT Tower. And his love and admiration for Japanese prints eventually led him to create an homage to his artist hero Hokusai. “London is my Edo,” says the artist. “And although I don’t have a Mt Fuji, I do have the BT tower.”

in the early 1830s, Katsushika Hokusai created 36 Views of Mt. Fuji. Images from the series would go on to become some of the most iconic images that Japan has ever produced, their vast reach and influence being almost impossible to measure, and 190 years later, they continue to inspire,

much like Hokusai’s views of Mt. Fuji, Edward Luper’s prints capture London’s BT Tower from various vantage points and throughout different weather patterns and seasons,

Luper’s attention to detail and artistic execution renders them an artful adoration for a city. “[BT Tower] became a point of stability for me; like a lighthouse. My life seems to revolve around it in some way or form. Much in the same way Mount Fuji was to the artist Katsushika Hokusai.”

Luper’s prints are available through the curated art platform Your Art Home (£60 – £65 / $83 – $90), 

what a neat way to look at one of our buildings which many of us, like myself, just take for granted on our skyline.
