Mark Brazier-Jones

Biography

Originally trained as a ceramicist, Mark Brazier-Jones (b1956, New Zealand) launched his career creating sets during the golden age of pop promos; videos for the likes of Duran Duran, Spandau Ballet, Elton John and David Bowie.

 

After seven years in this field he began exploring his own creative yearnings in the form of sculpture. In 1984 he founded along with friends Tom Dixon , Nick Jones, and the late André Dubreil, the “Creative Salvage” movement. Building functional art from found objects and welded metal.

 

Brazier-Jones soon departed from this creed having found his voice exploring esoteric and archetypal imagery as subject matter for his work now using bronze, crystals, sumptuous fabrics and other noble materials. The work combines meticulous craftsmanship with what seems like a whimsical and almost childlike attention in which no dream is unattainable.

 

His work can be found in important private collections and museums around the world.
