Beth Cullen-Kerridge

Beth Cullen-Kerridge (born 1970) is an English sculptor.

Cullen-Kerridge was born in Stoke on Trent to Judith Vincent, a businesswoman, and James Cullen, a painter. She attended John Moores University[1] and the Royal College of Art. In 1994, she became the first artist to be presented with the commission for the Napoleon Garden Sculpture exhibition in Holland Park.[2] Her work was subsequently shown in two of the London Parks.[3]

Her work has been shown in exhibitions England including specifically-made sculptures for her home town of Stoke on Trent.[4] She has worked as an assistant in foundries producing works for Eduardo Paolozzi, Elisabeth Frink, Alberto Giacometti and Sir Anthony Caro.[5]

In 2004 Cullen-Kerridge moved to Norfolk to work on property renovation.[6] A year later she moved to Marlow in Buckinghamshire to develop and open a gastropub, The Hand and Flowers with her husband, chef Tom Kerridge.[7] They were able to purchase the pub with the help of money she had received for a sculpture commission for a roundabout in Stoke.[8] She subsequently gave up producing sculpture for a number of years while she developed the business.[9]

Cullen-Kerridge travelled to Carrara in 2010, to study marble carving with artisans there.[10]

She had an exhibition at Hoxton Arches, Hoxton, East London, in 2014. Works included a formal shirt on a crucifix called "Hung out to Dry".

Her sculptures also include a shirt torso with a shark fin protruding from the back.[9] She exhibited at Gallery Different in Percy Street, London in October 2015.[11]
