Lucy Burge at Primrose Hill by Bo Lutoslawski

Lucy Burge at Primrose Hill

Over the past 40 years, Boleslaw Lutoslawski has photographed many of the greatest figures in the arts in Europe, spanning the worlds of music, literature, dance, and theatre. Arriving in London from his native Poland in 1980, he was immediately absorbed into the capital’s fast-moving cultural scene. 

Bo tells us - During my first visit to London, I lived for a couple of months over the bridge from Chalk Farm Tube Station, on Gloucester Avenue, close to Regent’s Park Road with attractive, small shops and cafes leading to Primrose Hill. I loved that walk to the top of the hill, to adore the panoramic views over Regent’s Park and the city beyond, with its unbound opportunities, which, I imagined, to be dwelling in London.

For many subsequent years, I came to the same place, again and again, to revisit my dreams from that time and to create new ones – like this one with Lucy Burge, a charismatic dancer flying across Primrose Hill.
