Nick Hornby



Nick Hornby, 1980, is a London based artist who received his education at the Slade School of Art, University College London and Chelsea School of Art. He has been described by ES Magazine as “The New Gormley”. Hornby has exhibited his work around the world, including Tate Britain, Southbank Centre (UK), Eyebeam Art and Technology Center (USA), and  The Hub (Athens). See more;

In 2009 he was shortlised for the inaugural £45,000 Spitalfields Sculpture Prize proposing "a large scale, multi-faceted sculpture that merges six different aspects of Spitalfields – from its famous Christ Church to the profile of the Spitalfields Woman on display at the British Museum [...] a consistently changing 3-D piece into which visitors can read different images as they circle it."

See here an interesting video interview about Nick Hornby and here his real (non digital) sculptures.
