British Artist - Ross McCormick

A Coventry-born and based artist with Anglo-Irish heritage, Ross’s sculptural practice explores the tension between imperialism, power, and the industrial system, questioning how these forces shape both society and the human spirit. He works with raw and reclaimed materials to expose the weight of machinery and structures that dominate our lives, while simultaneously seeking moments of tenderness within form and the self. Each piece becomes a confrontation with imposed authority and a reclamation of human connection. By forging objects that balance mass with vulnerability, he strives to reveal the fractures in systems of control and remind us of our shared humanity.

He holds an MA in Fine Art from Chelsea College of Arts (2018) and a BA in Furniture & Product Design from Nottingham Trent University (2011).
