A
prominent musician and jazz/blues singer in the London area during the late 50s
and early 60s... Arthur Wood, known as Art, performed with Alexis Korner and a
number of artistes who rose to fame with groups such as Deep Purple, The
Rolling Stones and The Faces, including Rod Stewart.
The Art Wood Apartments is a tribute to the
man who was famous amongst 60s R&B bands - there is a list on one of the
walls in the reception area.
Art semi-retired from music to start up a
graphic design company with his older brother Ted whilst their younger brother,
Ronnie, later joined the Faces and the Stones.
Sadly, Art died of prostrate cancer a few
years ago but, thanks to Shepherds Bush housing contractor Bugler and Art's
primary school, St. Matthew's, he will be remembered as a local legend.
Signcraft had the privilege of designing,
printing and installing the artwork at Art Wood Apartments.
