JASON MULLIGAN - SCULPTOR

Jason Mulligan is a contemporary sculptor specialising in stone and is based in Kent.

​

His first trip to the marble quarries of Carrara in Italy was in 1996 and the impression he left with regarding stone carving has stayed with him ever since.

​

Jason's direct approach to carving and his interest in the use of stone as a material has remained a necessary grounding in his search for form.

​

A whole series of subjects are at play within his work, including ‘recognition’, ‘looking’ and ‘speculation’, which are common in both archaeology and in art, whether new or ancient.

​

His small hand held works recall some past primeval state, while the larger naturalistic works cause the viewer to examine their surroundings more closely and view them with new eyes. 

​

Jason's work is held in collections in USA, Canada, Norway, Europe and the UK. He exhibits in both group and solo exhibitions with a variety of larger public works on display throughout the UK and Eire.

Jason was elected a member of the Royal Society of Sculptors in 2008.
