Jack Killick

BIOGRAPHY
London-based artist Jack Killick works across sculpture and painting. His sculptures are often made up of large-scale forms arranged in complex installations where mass and volume are determined by the space within which they find themselves. Taking inspiration from his surroundings, Killick creates imposing installations that can be at once intimidating and mischievous. He builds ‘anti-monumental’ sculptures from inexpensive, household materials such as cardboard, fabric, plywood, polystyrene and plaster, leaving the seams of their construction visible, revealing the methods of their making.

Killick’s paintings draw influence from arte povera to pop art, making bold use of color and form as a means of expression. The resulting works appear fluid and compelling, heavily stylised forms are rendered in flat blocks of color and architectural themes appear as a framework for exploring space both physically and mentally.
