About
Minty Sainsbury is a London-based artist working across drawing and painting. Architecture is the starting point for her work, from detailed graphite drawings of weathered buildings to abstract compositions in ink and coloured acrylic. Her practice explores the time held in architectural surfaces and the physical process of making.
She graduated in architecture from the University of Cambridge and has worked full-time as an artist since 2015. Her work has been selected for the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition in 2024, 2025 and 2026, the Trinity Buoy Wharf Drawing Prize 2026 and the John Ruskin Prize 2026.
Her sixth solo exhibition, Surfaces of Time: Architecture in Composition, takes place at the Coningsby Gallery, London, from 1–5 December 2026.
