Objects With Narratives - Paul Cocksedge, Critical Mass

Solo exhibition by Paul Cocksedge, Critical Mass
Thursday, September 11, at 6 PM running until November 8, 2025
Place du Grand Sablon 40, 1000 Brussels

Paul Cocksedge (b. 1978) lives and works in Hackney, East London.The artist is known for his unorthodox approach to materials in works that span public art, sculpture and architectural installation. Science is an ever-present anchor for the works, and a forensic investigation into the limitations of processes, materials, and the human body lays the foundations for everything. Paul is enduringly curious about our relationship to the Earth, and his works address pressing issues of our time, from social connection to fossil fuel. Sorcery in light, colour and mass all zero in on creating a moment of communication with other human beings.

Paul grew up in north London, and came to art on his own terms, bringing a freshness in perspective that has remained integral to his work. He received his Bachelor of Fine Arts in Industrial Design from Sheffield Hallam University in 1997, and subsequently studied under the mentorship of Ron Arad at the Royal College of Art in London. Graduating with an MA in Product Design in 2002, he went on to co-found his eponymous studio with business partner, fellow RCA graduate Joana Pinho in 2004.

The gallery represents an intimate group of international contemporary artists – with a focus on Belgium – who specialise in material-based processes whilst using traditional techniques in a modern way. From made to order, limited editions and one-of-a-kind collector items to site-specific installations, OWN runs a vibrant exhibition schedule and takes an active part in leading international art fairs such as Art Basel, PAD and TEFAF.
