SCULPTURE AT WORK : Nick Hornby & Sinta Tantra

14 Jan-15 Mar 2013

Overview

Nick Hornby and Sinta Tantra met when studying at the Slade School of Fine Art, both graduating in 2003, since when they have individually developed as artists. Tantra, a colourist, has mainly worked on murals and installations. Hornby has worked as a sculptor, until recently in monochrome, often in white, which shows the purity of forms he has arrived at through complex combinations of architecture and the sculptures of past masters. The acute difference in their sources and imagery gave them the impetus to experiment and they came together to make collaborative pieces, a process requiring negotiation that was tricky at times.
