Jane Muir

She specializes in idiosyncratic hand-painted figures representing a witty and uncluttered observation of the world. Figures that stand alone or placed in an architectural landscape are hand modelled, allowing her the freedom to ‘sketch’ with clay and develop ideas during the making process. Jane’s figures are not about specific individuals but are a personification of the stereotype or archetypal character. It is their anonymity that allows us to identify for ourselves familiar individuals. Subtle colour and seductive surface textures are key elements in her work; immensely appealing but never sentimental.

Her work has been exhibited widely throughout the UK, Europe, America and Japan.
Born in Walton on Thames 1966, first class BA (Hons) Central St Martins School of Art, MA at the Royal College of Art.
