Jo Burchell

Fine Art - Sculpture & Drawings

Jo studied fine art at Central Saint Martins, London, then after a break as a professional yachtswoman she returned to Dorset to sculpt. Her work is figurative and energetic. Using unwanted wires and metals ranging from barbed wire to copper and steel she draws her subjects in air, capturing the flow and poise of bodies in movement. This freedom of line and mark making is also evident in her drawings and paintings.

She works in a studio at home and past pieces and those in progress are often dotted about the garden. Because commissions form a large part of her work Jo welcomes a visitors and is very happy to go out to view potential sites and discuss ideas.

Currently Jo is working on a much smaller scale in sterling silver and a collection of new pieces will be on show in her next exhibition in London in October 2010 which is in the Air Gallery with McMasterTims Contemporary Art.
