Nick Hornby Sinta Tantra

 

Sculptor Nick Hornby and painter Sinta Tantra met at the Slade in the early 2000s. Both are best known for their site-specific work and installations in the public realm: Hornby for his sculpture commission at Glyndebourne last year, and Tantra, a British artist of Balinese descent, for her 2017 Folkestone Triennial painted building and a 330-yard painting at Canary Wharf. 

Occasionally they collaborate. You can now follow a trail of their joint work across the City, from Finsbury Avenue Square through to 201 Bishopsgate, The Broadgate Tower and Exchange House. Tantra’s colours are inspired by a sort of 18th-century Farrow & Ball, while Hornby’s work references Picasso and Matisse.

Until May 25. Viewings Monday to Friday 10am-4pm. Visit broadgate.co.uk
