Born and brought up in Kent, Benedict Radcliffe, 31, studied at the Mackintosh School of Art in Glasgow. After graduating, Radcliffe pursued an interest in the commercial fabrication and construction of interiors and furniture as well as art and sculpture working with leading Glaswegian architectural fabricators Scott Associates.Since leaving Scott Associates as well as continuing to pursue personal projects and exhibitions, he has recently undertaken commissions for Paul Smith, Puma, Red Bull and Comme des Garcons. And this interest in his work has led to him move down from Glasgow and setting up a studio in London.
His work looks at a number of themes; his love of machines and engineering, commercial branding and familiar logos or graphics and transferring them to different contexts and materials.
