Love Art London

Architecture geeks, hold onto your undies, this’ll be an awesome ride. One of London’s most recent and beautiful hunks of steel and glass, The Angel Building has won countless awards for environmentally friendly design and innovation. However, although the building itself is a stonking sculptural masterpiece in its own right, it also contains an outstanding collection of artworks. The most impressive of which is a monumental sculpture 'Out of the Strong Came Forth Sweetness' by Ian McChesney which occupies most of the vast central atrium, extending the full twenty-two metres from floor to ceiling (that’s more than 5 double-decker buses stacked on top of each other). And the most fascinating fact is the design is based on an experiment with a pot of treacle and a teaspoon. Imagine dipping a teaspoon into a pot of treacle and allowing the sticky mixture to fall from it. Freeze that frame and turn the entire shape upside down. See? We’ll be taking a special behind-the-scenes tour with Derwent London director Simon Silver, who commissioned this outstanding art collection. Architectastic.
