Argon by Peter Snow 1970

Argon by Peter Snow 1970
Art on the Cart was an initiative of the Southwark Council Arts Team to make art reach into every corner of the borough. Eight refuse trucks, dustcarts, in UK parlance, had vinyl cladding whose designs were based on artworks with a connection to the Borough of Southwark.
The Southwark Council website used to say the following about the artwork:
"Peter Snow attended Goldsmiths College and Slade School of Fine Art before teaching at Slade. He has also been a journalist for South London Press. A painter and stage designer, he has also made prints in various media, as well as a series of drawings and abstract works. Snow’s most productive period was in the 1970s and 1980s and over the years he has exhibited widely in London. Until recently he lived in Kennington.

The image on the cart is a painting called Argon, which is oil on panel and was completed around 1970. "
