London bus

This visually striking collage by Keith McBride captures the electric vibrancy of London through an eclectic mix of media, color, and cultural motifs. Dominating the composition is a bold red double-decker bus, a quintessential icon of the city, overflowing with tightly packed, expressive faces. The windows become stages for stories—intimate glimpses of the urban crowd. Surrounding the bus are fragments of magazine clippings, typography, and fashion photography, all layered into a chaotic yet stylish urban narrative.

A black London taxi—equally emblematic—sits to the right, its surface plastered with black-and-white portraits, perhaps alluding to the faces of London itself: diverse, moody, and reflective. The background is a constructed cityscape with architectural references and graphic elements that play with depth and perspective. Text snippets like “EVERY PICTURE TELLS A STORY” reinforce the idea that this is not just a scene but a tapestry of voices, looks, and memories woven into a metropolitan myth.
