Joseph Hillier FRSS

 Hillier's work is an exploration our humanity, relative to the geometry and constructs of contemporary culture. Hiller re-makes the human body in various materials and via ancient and recent advances in technology, framing his works in the current culture of things. Hillier studied at Falmouth school of Art, Newcastle University and Tulane University, New Orleans where he completed his MFA. Recent solo and group exhibitions include The British Art Fair, Saatchi Gallery, Digital Rendition, Royal Society of Sculptors, Cheeseburn Sculpture, Northumberland, and Beaux Arts London. Hillier’s work is held in private and public collections across Europe and America. His public works have ranged in scale from the monumental In Our Image, a 17m high figurative construction in County Durham to the miniature, series of fourteen neo-pastoral vignettes in Lincolnshire, Portrait of a Town:  Spalding. He has recently completed his most ambitious public work to date, Messenger, which sailed in to the city of Plymouth at dawn on the 18th March 2019. The work depicts the fleeting action of a performer cast in 10 tonnes of bronze at 9m in width, the largest cast bronze sculpture in the UK.
