BIO
|
Graeme Hitchcock is a Wellington-based artist whose practice centres on the human figure, particularly through cast glass and bronze sculpture.
He has developed a distinctive focus on figuration, using the body to explore emotional states, psychological presence, and the complexity of human experience. Across his work, the figure becomes a vessel for both vulnerability and strength, moving between joy, melancholy, and quiet tension. Glass is central to his practice, allowing translucency, colour, and light to shape the reading of each figure—shifting between fragility and solidity. Bronze offers a contrasting weight and permanence, grounding the works in material presence. He is best known for his Man Looking series, depicting suited men with tilted heads and upward gazes, inspired by a chance observation at a bus stop. Cast in vivid glass and bronze, these figures balance humour and restraint, everyday observation and sculptural clarity. With a practice spanning decades, Hitchcock has exhibited widely across Aotearoa New Zealand and is represented in both private and public collections. |
