"If you live in London, or just spend time online, you've probably seen photos on Instagram of Sketch's iconic egg-shaped loos, gold and yellow-hued interiors and art-decked walls. The legendary restaurant is synonymous with its classy yet quirky aesthetic. Now the arty eatery has undergone a new redesign, with fresh works on display by British artist Jonathan Baldock. The Mayfair restaurant and gallery has revealed its new artworks, which were unveiled to the public yesterday (January 13)."
"Previous artists to display at Sketch also include David Shrigley and Martin Creed. Baldock's creations for the restaurant comprise a selection of 84 colourful clay masks from Baldock's 'Maske' series lining the walls, surreal sculptures of flowers that bloom into faces and bodies surrounding the bar, and huge wool cocoons suspended from the ceiling."
"Jonathan Baldock said: 'I am grateful for the opportunity to exhibit my work at sketch restaurant, following in the footsteps of artists I admire. I have been a fan of sketch since visiting in my early 20s, and I'm looking forward to being a part of its ongoing legacy.'"
Sketch in Mayfair unveiled new artworks on January 13. The venue retained India Mahdavi’s sunshine yellow interiors introduced in 2022 while replacing Yinka Shonibare’s wall pieces. New installations by Jonathan Baldock include 84 colourful clay masks from the 'Maske' series lining gallery walls, surreal flower sculptures that bloom into faces and bodies around the bar, and vast wool cocoons suspended from the ceiling. The works occupy the restaurant and gallery spaces, continuing Sketch’s tradition of commissioning contemporary British artists and integrating bold, experimental sculptures into its visually distinctive dining environment.
