    Biography

     

    Nick Hornby is a British artist based in London (b.1980). He is known for his large-scale site specific commissions. His work addresses queer identity, semiotics and art-historical critique. He employs experimental digital technologies that result in traditional objects made from resin, bronze, steel, granite and marble. In 2023 he unveiled three significant public commissions in London. Each of these critically engages with the core tropes of public art - equestrian, memorial and abstract. He was awarded The 2024 PSSA Marsh Award for Excellence in Public Sculpture. He is a Fellow and Trustee of the Royal Society of Sculptors.

     
    Hornby studied at Slade School of Art and Chelsea College of Art. He has exhibited at Tate Britain, The Southbank Centre, Leighton House London, CASS Sculpture Foundation and the Fitzwilliam Museum Cambridge. Internationally at The Museum of Arts and Design New York and Poznan Bienalle, Poland. Residencies include with Outset (Israel), Eyebeam (New York). His work has been reviewed in the New York Times, Frieze, Artforum, The Art Newspaper, The FT, and featured in Architectural Digest, Cultured Magazine and Artsy among others. A large monograph is available published by Anomie Press.
