Transport for London has announced five new commissions for its Art on the Underground programme in 2026, bringing contemporary art to stations, trains and maps across the network. The programme will highlight underrepresented voices and hidden histories, with works spanning photography, painting, sound and graphic design. British painter Hurvin Anderson has been commissioned to create the tenth Brixton Mural, launching in November, following Rudy Loewe’s current work. Other artists include Phoebe Boswell, Ellen Gallagher, Ain Bailey and Caroline Walker. Boswell will present a large-scale photographic installation at Bethnal Green and Notting Hill inspired by Black swimming communities, while Gallagher will design the 42nd pocket Tube map. Bailey will create an audio artwork for Waterloo station, and Walker will produce a large-scale painting at Stratford focusing on women working on the network at night. The 2026 programme is sponsored by Reed.
