‘Ophelia’ was created in 1992 by Deborah Halpern this popular public artwork has been made using stainless steel, fibreglass and ceramic tiles. Shades of yellow, green, red and blue tile have been layered over the contoured surface to create the mosaic sculpture.
Located near the main entrance along the Southbank Complex the double-faced biomorphic shape provides a burst of colour along the grey paved busy promenade. With an east/west orientation ‘Ophelia’ seems to have one face watching the rising sun, while the other is waiting for the setting sun.
