​Nathan French (b.1983, Wales) studied at Central Saint Martins before transitioning into sculpture. Past collaborations include projects with performers such as Björk and Lady Gaga, as well as presentations during Paris and London fashion weeks. His practice moves between wearable forms and sculpture, merging the visceral with the mineral, and the human with the mythic. Exploring the human form, French draws inspiration from Greek to catholic sculpture, using unconventional materials—feathers, wax, and crystals. His work explores the fragile threshold between beauty and brutality, transformation and decay.  He creates bodies that are both sacred and monstrous—mutating forms overtaken by crystal growths, suspended in states of pain, pleasure, and metamorphosis. Drawing on themes of queerness, fear, and the tension between control and surrender, his practice weaves together personal mythology with collective trauma. Each piece is a relic of survival, a sensual confrontation with shame, desire, and the violence of being seen
