Profile
Consuelo Radclyffe
CONSUELO RADCLYFFE
‘My clay figures are often described as joyful and I create them as individuals, carefully crafted identities which give my work depth, poignancy and glee,’ Consuelo Radclyffe
Consuelo Radclyffe was born in Brazil and has been living in London since 1981. She graduated from Westminster University, having specialised in ceramics. Her sculptures are made from clay, wire, paper and found objects.
These childish figures, with their often mutinous expressions, tell clear stories of the profound childhood cravings for a sense of ownership and belonging, and of the pain of experiencing rejections, exclusions and rivalries. Radclyffe often ‘houses’ her sculptures thoughtfully, setting them in cages or upon swings. The contrast between the emotional honesty of these works and the whimsical inclusion of the fripperies of childhood, such as kites, rocking horses, bikes, swings and skipping ropes, creates eerie and interesting pieces. Radclyffe’s girls are arresting characters, with strong, expressive faces, alongside beautifully-realised hair and clothing which clearly express their individuality and make them irresistible to collectors.
We always look forward to unwrapping a Consuelo Radclyffe at Balman Gallery, to unravelling the addictive secrets, surprises and stories held within.
