Mask/Helmet II at the Sainsbury Centre for Visual Arts, Norwich

Houseago is one of the most significant sculptors working today, known for his often monumental works inspired by pop culture and film as well as styles from Classicism to Cubism. Using wood, clay, hessian, plaster and bronze, Houseago creates work that is raw and visceral, and a reminder of the power of figurative art. His work demonstrates an interest in traditional materials and techniques, while being completely contemporary in feel. The sculptures retain an unfinished appearance, with remnants of the making process often visible, from indentations of the artist's tools to exposed metal rods.
