My Story

About Jamie McCartney

Multi-disciplinary Artist

I have been a professional artist for over 30 years with a strong focus on the human condition: the mind, the body and the spirit. I create artworks in a range of media for museums, public spaces and private collections from my UK studio.

Social & Political Artworks

After crewing on a peace boat as a teenager I went to art school full of enthusiasm for direct action, where my professors, who were all political artists, nurtured that zeal. I remain an enthusiastic proponent of art as an engine of social change.

Portrait Sculptures

Portrait commissions, including death masks, are one of the mainstays of my commercial practice, using bronze, glass, marble, fibreglass and metal resins. I apply traditional sculpting, life casting and 3D scanning to achieve the desired results.

Figurative Sculptures

Figurative sculptures are the other cornerstone of my commercial practice. Commissioned pieces are fun collaborations with my clients, creating unique works in a huge range of materials. I also produce figurative bronzes for sale to the public.

Photography

I have developed an experimental technique for photographing the body using an adapted document scanner as my camera. The images have a decidedly painterly look and feel, taking photography in its literal sense of ‘painting with light’.

Bra Spangled Banners

This photographic series of national flags lampoons the social politics of appropriate dress around the world. Made from scans of hundreds of volunteers in colourful bras, they simultaneously serve to raise awareness and combat the rise in breast cancers.

The Great Wall of V….

My five year collaboration with 400 women volunteers. “Showing normal vulva diversity and combatting genital shame” was the ethos behind this world famous feminist artwork, which has recently been retitled to reflect the trends in common parlance.
