Radiant artwork revealed for Ligne 17 station in Paris

Twelve new artworks for the Grand Paris Express were recently revealed. Architects collaborated with artists for each station to craft stunning artworks that seamlessly harmonize with the architectural design. Benthem Crouwel Architects' Daniel Jongtien presented the artwork for metro station l’Aéroport Charles-de-Gaulle T2 (Ligne 17) proudly, together with the artist Kapwani Kiwanga.

The artwork “Sous un même Soleil”, meaning under the same sun, fills the vertical open spaces of the station with the glow of an eternal sun. Rounded Golden metal curtains hang from the bridges, mirroring the comings and goings of travelers as they find their starting point and depart again.
