“My sculpture takes the human form as its starting point and its tool. My point of departure is not an idiosyncratic impulse but a reflection, a thought fueled by my interest in new philosophical questions, medical information or psychological studies. I do not start from an artistic compulsion, fantasy or pure imagination but develop a reflection – through research and exploration – in search of an experience to solicit the viewer/ spectator/ visitor/ art lover.

Not to make a statement but to ask a question to provoke a debate or curiosity. Through sparking conscious thoughts and ideas as well as evoking emotions and empathy through our subconscious.

I am drawn to the visceral nature of sculpture, how it can occupy a space – change the feel of the space it occupies. My work is derived from research and exploration into the human condition and our possible futures.” - Lucy Glendinning

Lucy Glendinning’s practice is based in Somerset, UK. After studying Sculpture at the University of the West of England, Bristol, Glendinning promptly found work in a bronze foundry, where she sought to perfect her craft making molds and castings; skills which serve as the foundation for her artist excellence and are unceasingly apparent in all her works.

Her art examines the human condition and the surreal fascinations of potential futures. This analysis forms her work into a fantastical and highly emotional series of subjects. Permanence and craftsmanship are paramount to her oeuvre. The meticulously composed feather surfaces of her figures transfix the viewer with a plausibility of an alternate sur-reality, and the sculptures transform the space in which they occupy as the figures seem locked in their own pensive experiences

Glendinning’s work has been exhibited extensively on an international scale, throughout Europe, Asia, and the US. Her work has consistently graced many fairs and museums throughout her career, while concurrently completing public commissions in the U.K. in which she was awarded the Civic Trust Award both in 2009 and 2011, the Landscape Institute Award in 2010 and 2011 and a “Red Rose” award in 2011.
