Everything about James Castle Sculptor totally explained
James Castle is a
Scottish sculptor and artist based in
Malmesbury, Wiltshire. The majority of James' work is carved in wood; but there are also sculptures modelled in plaster and clay, some of which have been cast into bronze.
James was born in
1946, in
Aberdeen,
Scotland. He was educated at
Ealing School of Art, London;
Winchester School of Art, Winchester, where he was taught by
Heinz Henghes; and the
Royal College of Art, London. He is a Senior Lecturer in sculpture at the
University of Gloucestershire, Cheltenham.
A lot of James' work depicts loosely, or cryptically anthropomorphic animals. He says: "I think one of the reasons I began to use animals as a metaphor for the human condition came from the fact that we like to bestow these creatures with the same kinds of emotions as our own, without ever really knowing what is going on... this 'one step removed' from our reality is of interest to me."1
James Castle is this year's invited artist at the
Royal West of England Academy. He exhibits with the Compass Gallery, Glasgow, and with the Bohun Gallery, Henley upon Thames.
