Jeremy Willett

It could be described as handmade minimalism the meditative, impenetrable nature of a work by Donald Judd is apparently switched in Willetts sculptures for an earnest and direct connection with a maker. More reminiscent of Joseph Cornells miniature boxes or David Batchelors coloured lights, these sculptures are rough around the edges; they have an intimate, warm quality that has secured their place in prestigious collections. But all is not as it seems. His small pieces may reference their origins in the title and appear organic, but they are generated by computer to be created in combinations of plastic and resin - polystyrene and jesmonite. When featured in the Telegraph, the small pieces were described as a cross between squeezed icing and a Lichtenstein brushstroke sculpture. As a Royal College of Art graduate and 2006 New Contemporary, Willett has already shown these pieces internationally, with four exhibitions in Canada, as well as several exciting shows in London, including selection for the Creekside Open X2 curated by Emma Biggs and Matthew Collings.
