International Sculptor Jeremy Stiff
in Cornish Residency
Jeremy Stiff | Cornish Serpentine Vessel
This June, the Bohago private estate in Cornwall hosts an art residency by international sculptor Jeremy Stiff, a skilled craftsman whose work balances the figurative with the distinctly abstract. Jeremy was born in London but raised in Cornwall, and as a sculptor he has made his mark in the UK and Europe over a thirty-year career, creating site specific works for public venues, as well as private gallery collections. He now lives and works at his rural studio in the spectacular setting of Bannau Brycheiniog in Wales but will be returning to his childhood home of Cornwall for this residency.
The focus of Jeremy's work will be drawing and stone carving, with a particular interest in pod, vessel and boat forms, and his work will be in show later this year at Whitewater Contemporary, Polzeath.
Jeremy Stiff studied figurative sculpture and gained an MA in Fine Art from Cardiff University. He works in wood, stone and occasionally bronze, and is known for his mid-scale semi-figurative work and large-scale outdoor sculpture. With a particular interest in the tactile form, and the paring down of details to create simple but impactful sculpture that carries with it both a physical and conceptual solidity, he skilfully renders the soft, often transient nature of his subject matter into the permanence of oak, marble, limestone and granite. Jeremy exhibits extensively in Wales, England and France, and has created site specific works for locations including Longleat Park in Wiltshire, and Saint Maur and Meymac in France.
