Castle, James

James Castle is a sculptor working primarily with wood, plaster, and bronze, exploring themes of dreams, landscape, and other-worldliness. Influenced in part by the sculptural language of Constantin Brancusi, his work develops through drawing and careful construction. Castle allows ideas and forms to evolve gradually until narrative and structure align, creating pieces that express the emotions and original thoughts behind the work.
James Castle is a British sculptor educated the Royal College of Art in London. He has exhibited across the United Kingdom and curated sculpture exhibitions at Gloucester Cathedral and Malmesbury Abbey. Castle was a Senior Lecturer at the University of Gloucestershire and was elected to the Royal Scottish Academy in 2008.
