Hamish Black lives and works in East Sussex. He exhibits his work
regularly and is represented in public and private collections in Britain
and Europe. Black was born in Braintree, Essex in 1948. He studied at
Eastbourne School of Art (1965-67), at North East London Polytechnic
(1967-70) and at the Slade School of Art, University College,
London (1970-72).

Throughout his career Hamish Black has continued to teach part time,
he is currently an academic tutor on the Sculpture MA/BA degree
course at Wimbledon School of Art.

Black’s last solo show at the Kapil Jariwala Gallery, London (1999)
sought to achieve a new and vital relationship with paper which was
folded, rolled, layered and cut. Some pieces were huge whilst others
were of an intimate scale. He endowed them with a curious textural
beauty. These characteristics have been transferred into new work
using bronze, brass, steel, aluminium and cast iron.
