Beth Cullen-Kerridge Explained
Beth Cullen-Kerridge (born 1970) is an English sculptor.
Cullen-Kerridge was born in Stoke-on-Trent to Judith Vincent, a businesswoman, and James Cullen, a painter. She attended John Moores University[1] and the Royal College of Art. In 1994, she became the first artist to be presented with the commission for the Napoleon Garden Sculpture exhibition in Holland Park.[2] Her work was subsequently shown in two of the London Parks.[3]
Her work has been shown in exhibitions England including specifically-made sculptures for her home town of Stoke on Trent.[4] She has worked as an assistant in foundries producing works for Eduardo Paolozzi, Elisabeth Frink, and Sir Anthony Caro.[5]
In 2004 Cullen-Kerridge moved to Norfolk to work on property renovation.[6] A year later she moved to Marlow in Buckinghamshire to develop and open a gastropub, The Hand and Flowers with her husband, chef Tom Kerridge, with whom she has one son, Acey (born 2015).[7] [8] They were able to purchase the pub with the help of money she had received for a sculpture commission for a roundabout in Stoke.[9] She subsequently gave up producing sculpture for a number of years while she developed the business.[10]
Cullen-Kerridge travelled to Carrara in 2010, to study marble carving with artisans there.[11]
She had an exhibition at Hoxton Arches, Hoxton, East London, in 2014. Works included a formal shirt on a crucifix called "Hung out to Dry".
Her sculptures also include a shirt torso with a shark fin protruding from the back. She exhibited at Gallery Different in Percy Street, London in October 2015.[12]
