Join us on 2 May at Pitzhanger Manor & Gallery for a special Thursday Lates event featuring artist Sinta Tantra. Sinta will lead a guided tour of her exhibition The Lightclub of Batavia, offering insights into her unique blend of geometric art that beautifully complements the historic Soane architecture. Explore how her works, influenced by themes of light, wealth, and colonialism, interact with the manor’s spaces.
On the same evening, don’t miss our talk on The Art of Collecting in 18th Century London’s Grand Houses.
Thursday 2 May 2024
6.45–7.45pm
Pitzhanger Manor & Gallery
Ealing Green, London W5 5EQ
Free with General Admission
Sinta Tantra is a British artist of Balinese descent. She studied at the Slade School of Fine Art, University College London between 1999–2003 and later continued her studies in art at the Royal Academy Schools in London. Tantra describes herself as a painter working on an architectural scale. By using abstract geometric style, exploring colour, identity, and narratives, she questions the function of spaces in her work. Tantra’s compositions explore themes of light, wealth, and the duality of beauty and colonialism. Gold, central to her exhibition, symbolises energy, vanity, and extraction, highlighting Tantra’s fascination with its historical and cultural significance.
Sinta Tantra: The Lightclub of Batavia not only complements the historical context of Pitzhanger but also injects a contemporary vibrancy, redefining the viewer’s perception of space and history. Included in this exhibition are six new works from her miniature painting series, whose geometric compositions resonate with Soane’s design of Pitzhanger Manor’s Library
Thursday Lates, our monthly evening event series every first Thursday, offers a diverse roster of programs from artist talks to workshops. Open to everyone seeking enriching after-work experiences, these events vary from ticketed to free. Coinciding with our free visiting hours for Ealing residents, Thursday Lates is your chance to explore the manor and its exhibitions without the usual general admission fee.
