The National Gallery, which houses the original masterpiece, expressed that Neville Gabie – the Olympic Park’s artist in residence - had imaginatively reinterpreted the famous ‘Bathers at Asnieres’ for a post-industrial age.

The image by Neville Gabie - the Olympic Park’s artist in residence - forms part of the Olympic Delivery Authority’s Art in the Park programme.

The photograph recreates the 1884 painting’s composition, with the characters inhabiting the image taken from across the Olympic Park, including landscape gardeners, engineers, designers and security staff. 

"Neville Gabie’s unique take on Seurat’s 19th Century masterpiece will capture both the imagination and attention of art lovers as well as all those who have worked on the Park," said ODA chairman John Armitt.
