Ant Hamlyn (b. 1993, Northampton, UK) lives and works in London and Lewes​

​

Through his continued exploration into soft sculpture, Hamlyn explores the fragility of life creating works that reflect the delicate and transient nature of existence. His sculptures often incorporate anthropomorphic qualities, blending metaphor, technology, and the contrasting interplay between hard and soft materials. These elements create tactile, surprising moments, drawing viewers into a space of frozen time, where the familiar and uncanny can co-exist.

 

With the exception of the larger inflatable installations Hamlyn’s works are meticulously crafted by hand, with this attention to materiality, scale, and context central to the sense of mystery, familiarity, and deception that permeates his practice.
