Proving that excellent art exhibitions don’t need to be behind the closed reverential doors of art galleries, the lobby of One Canada Square in Canary Wharf is bubbling with contemporary sculptures by two artists Michael Pennie and Andrew Sabin.

Born twenty years apart, with their artistic style reflecting their two different generations, the recent sculptures of the two artists on show compliment each other, with Andrew Sabin’s fluid naturalistic forms swirling around the lobby, his huge ‘From Time to Time’ looking down on visitors as they enter and walk around, while Michael Pennie’s work is more formal, more geometrical.  It is interesting to note that Michael Pennie made a comment about how awkward his work had looked at a previous exhibition in a white-walled, white-box gallery, reinforcing that architecture and art do work together.  Here the work of both artists comes alive in the different spaces of the lobby with the noise and bustle of city workers passing through, occasionally stopping short as a sculpture draws their attention.
