Campo Grande is one of Lisbon’s metro stations, where the art is almost part of the architecture itself. It’s a big, open station where the Green and Yellow lines meet, and the art helps the station develop its own identity, to what could otherwise feel like a simple concrete transport hub.

The main art installation was designed by the Portuguese artist Eduardo Nery. He used traditional Portuguese Baroque tile. They usually deconstruct human figures, breaking them into small squares, making you question traditions and confront new ways to see what is usually considered history and untouchable through a new lens.

Campo Grande is a good example of how Lisbon uses art installations to make everyday journeys more interesting and thought-provoking, often through very simple approaches, such as tile art. Have you passed through Campo Grande and noticed these figures and patterns? How did you feel about seeing tradition represented in this way?
