Metal figures appear to lift a grand piano up an exterior wall near a London Fields pub, Hackney.

. An unusual exterior artwork shows two metallic human figures apparently manoeuvring a grand piano up the side of a tall building beside a London Fields pub. The angled instrument is fixed above ground level and creates a striking illusion of a difficult removal operation. The installation combines public art, humour, sculpture and traditional pub architecture. It is an unusual visual feature for documenting local street character, imaginative shop or venue decoration and the place of quirky art objects in an urban neighbourhood. The unusual sculpture presents two silvery human figures positioned high against a pale brick pub wall, appearing to manoeuvre a grand piano up the outside of the building. The suspended instrument and labouring poses create a memorable landmark for pedestrians in London Fields and connect street art with the area's hospitality setting. The apparent piano removal is the artistic conceit: a large instrument is suspended at an improbable angle on an external wall, accompanied by small human figures apparently supporting or lifting it. This kind of trompe-l'oeil or playful street decoration can transform an otherwise ordinary building frontage into a local landmark. The juxtaposition of a grand piano, sculpted figures and masonry also works for themes of music, creativity and eccentric public art.

The sculpture’s position above the pavement makes its unusual subject visible to people walking nearby. Its piano shape has a direct connection to performing arts and musical culture. Two metallic figures are arranged on a wall beneath a dark piano, creating the impression of a dramatic outdoor hoist. The upright piano hangs at an angle above the pavement, making the installation conspicuous to passing pedestrians. The sculpture’s unusual composition connects music imagery with neighbourhood public art.
