It's probably the easiest one so far! 9 correct answers already.
Anyway I do like this artwork, so that's my excuse for picking this station! :)

I spent 30mins searching the Web & TFL for the artists name and by the time I had finished I had had a List of 12 possible names. No easy task picking the right one out of that lot.

Fair point, Gasman. I have to say that that's one piece of modern art that I actually really love!

Personally I found a google image search gave me the answer, as my favourite artist is Rolf Harris I had no idea if I right or not!
