Gillian Brent makes sculpture that is rooted in Modernist principles of manipulating form, space and material. She constructs in steel, with additional elements in other materials such as wood, stone, concrete and Jesmonite. She creates spatial and dynamic configurations that synthesise her observations, allude to function and suggest new narratives.
Gillian is a Member of the Royal Society of Sculptors. She is also a member of Talking Sculpture Making (TSM), (formerly This Stuff Matters), a discussion forum and exhibiting group of three women abstract sculptors based in London and the North.
In parallel with her studio practice, Gillian works as an artist in a learning and engagement context with both adults and children in arts projects, public commissions and programmes in partnership with galleries, universities, public and community organisations.
