The exhibition "Collaborative works ||" shows selected works from the current collaboration between the British artist Nick Hornby and the British-Balinese artist Sinta Tantra. In his works, Hornby combines classic approaches to postmodern architecture and sculpture with modern, strictly geometric forms.
In precisely planned work steps, he converts various shapes and silhouettes into a three-dimensional digital sketch, as is common practice for architects. Next comes the physically demanding part, where each figure is made in traditional materials such as bronze or marble.
Sinta Tantra's paintings are characterized by their preference for the shrill colors of Pop Art and the strict geometric shapes of Minimal Art. She uses a wide variety of media, so her approach cannot only be located in the area of painting. The works presented together by Hornby and Tantra encourage us to look beyond physical and pictorial boundaries and to address the intermediate levels of personal narrative and cultural understanding as well as the topic of space.
