David Hiscock is a multimedia artist whose work spans both two and three dimensions. Initially working within the medium of photography, although rarely without intervention, his photographic core now encompasses sculpture, architecture and engineering. Using time-lapse, abstract and emotive use of the photographic medium, these photographic forms take shape and meld into sculpture and solid form, the basis of a long practice combining the mood, emotional and intellectual properties of photography into physical manifestations. Graduating from the Royal College of Art in London, in 1986 he became very well known in the UK and was the Artist in Residence for Britain at the Olympic Games in Barcelona in 1992. This was the heady beginning of an illustrious career, which led to a sabbatical in Asia in 2008. This turned into a lengthy stay of nine years due to significant and multiple commissions, during this time his photographic practice, often painted, scratched, overlaid, and layered took on even more physicality. The photography and sculpture began to merge into one. Large scale installations of sculpture, furniture, lighting and architectural detailing followed. Moving to Italy in 2016 David Hiscock continues his practice of mixed media works, the scale and nature unchanged by the continent he lives in, but altered by the light, the environment and his skill as an artist to react, to transform, to move beyond a single reading and appreciate the innate qualities of both visual and tactile works.
