Jamie Frost is a fine artist who makes sculptures and drawings. His work seeks to reframe figuration and the classical tradition. His career to date has been diverse, from award-winning portrait sculptor to touring exhibitions of large scale drawings and sculpture. Jamie’s current work explores themes of contact, intimacy and violence. The heavily expressive painted works reveal an interest in the gaps between us, imposed and elective. Working with live models, he may take inspiration from renaissance sculpture, cinema stills, Butoh theatre, or a gesture made in his company.  Jamie patiently considers the pose, composition and gesture of his works in lengthy experimentation. A layered process of sketches, prints, maquettes, photographs, and drawings contribute to the production of major pieces of sculpture or installations of drawings.
