Jamie Fitzpatrick, Crème Fraiche Amygdala Hummmm

Jamie Fitzpatrick created a new monumental figure for the space that draws its influence from the architectural authority of the central hall and the surrounding buildings. He also exhibited wall-based work for the first time, again, drawing influence from the decorative sculptural motifs of the building and their use of mythological and classical narratives to reinforce and legitimise the authority of capitalist economic and social structures.

Fitzpatrick's practice encompasses sculptural installations, performance, drawing & moving image, frequently structured around the narratives and visual rhetoric behind images of authority. 

The artist has had solo presentations with VITRINE Gallery, Deborah Bowman (Brussels) in, Phoenix Gallery (Exeter) and VITRINE Basel. He has been included in group shows at City Art Centre Edinburgh, Camden Arts Centre, SPACE, ICA London, the Bluecoat Liverpool, The Royal Scottish Academy, Saatchi Gallery and the Museum of Sheffield as well as internationally in New York, Los Angeles, Basel, Brussels, Lisbon, Kyiv, Turin and Prague.

Since graduating in Sculpture from the Royal College of Art in 2015, he has received several awards, including XL Catlin People’s Choice Award, Saatchi UK/Raine Sculpture Award and the LANDsecurities Show Award. He was selected in the Bloomberg New Contemporaries in 2015 and 2016.
