Jesse Pollock's The Granary, is a life-sized sculpture of a traditional English grain store. The pearlescent candy orange represents the desire to return to an idyllic, rose-tinted past. 📍Visit The Granary at Cunard Place, EC3A 5AR #SculptureInTheCity #PublicSculpture

For her sculpture, BOOK OF BOREDOM, Ida Ekblad employs the same approach as her paintings: cutting, uniting and assembling shapes and forms, before hand painting onto bronze-cast structures as though they were canvases, defying the medium’s supposed demand for flatness.

Before coming to Fenchurch Street, these sculptures were blocks of Statuario marble sitting in a stone yard in Pietrasanta. Listen to Daniel Silver explain how they came to life in the City. 📍40 Leadenhall, EC3A 3DH #WhatsOnLondon #PublicSculpture

In the dark, Elisa Artesero's neon, ‘The Garden of Floating Words’ creates the illusion of a floating poem. During daylight hours, you see the words supported by tall, acrylic stands intended to mirror the glass buildings surrounding the garden space. #SculptureintheCity
