Nicola Anthony Studios

Nicola Anthony (b. 1984) is a British artist known for metal text sculptures and burned paper assemblages, which give glimpses into the effects of displacement, migration, intergenerational trauma, and emergent behaviour in society. She focuses her research on untold narratives, collective memory, hybrid intelligence and the embodiment of life stories. She is also influenced by epigenetics, big data, linguistics, and the inseparable existence of nature and culture. Anthony was commissioned to make sculptures for Steven Spielberg's USC Shoah Foundation featuring the story of a Holocaust survivor, has created public sculptures about border crossings in Ireland, and a sculpture in Colorado to illuminate Elie Wiesel's words on the importance of speaking out against discrimination. She has an innate ability to transform words into messages of profundity, her work is a journal of a thousand souls. She collects human testimonies, empowering and transforming them into contemporary art. From the playful to the heart-wrenching, each artwork is shaped by the narrative it contains. As recently featured in the New York Times, her work with NGOs, art institutions and research bodies has led to art which gives voice to important and often unspoken stories. In recent years she had a solo exhibition at Singapore Art Museum, exhibited at the Kuala Lumpur Biennale, the Tsunami Museum in Indonesia, and created public sculptures in the USA, Ireland, England and Singapore. Featured in influential public and private collections around the world, she has been shortlisted for the Sovereign Asian Art Prize, received the ‘New Voices of Ireland' award, has this year had three works acquired by The Ingram Collection of British Art.
