Es Devlin – renowned for her stage design for theatre and artists such as Beyoncé and Kanye West, her pieces at Victoria & Albert Museum and Art Basel, an Olympics closing ceremony, and most recently a projection-mapped story at the Cannes Lions Festival of Creativity – is the artist behind The Egg and two other pieces in the gallery.
Devlin’s Manhattan is warped and fitted inside a quarter ovoid shape, using relative scaling tricks to force a unique perspective of the cityscape (including an unashamed emphasis on The XI building). This butts to a mirrored ceiling – a motif employed throughout the gallery – completing the appearance of an egg cross-section.
