Rowan Mersh is a multi-media sculptor who explores form through intuitive application of a material’s inherent qualities.

His diverse and experimental approach to creation is epitomised by his ability to take very ordinary materials and transform them into the extraordinary. From textile sculpture to kinetic and interactive installation, Mersh’s pieces are inventive and multipurpose, bridging the realms of art, design and fashion.

Regularly exhibiting internationally with Gallery FUMI, Mersh’s sculptures have been acquired by major private and public collections the world over, most notably the V&A, Jerwood and The Crafts Council collections. His commissions and special projects include works for the Mercury Music Prize, Fendi and Veuve Clicquot.

Mersh, a graduate of the Royal Collage of Art in 2005, continues to live and work in London.

The essence of Rowan Mersh’s work lies primarily within the complete understanding of a fabric or material. From understanding a textile’s inherent characteristics, from their structure and the way they are knitted, woven or formed, to the yarns used in their construction, an intuitive sense is able to develop. It is this affinity with the cloth that informs possible capabilities and potential for manipulation, and subsequently all his creations. Absolutly stunning Rowan, we are your fans forever.

Mersh explora con sus creaciones los reinos del arte, la moda y el diseño, graduado en 2005
en el Royal College of Art, ahora presenta su obra a nivel internacional, reelaborando el origami en
esculturas ondulantes.

Su obras son visualmente robustas, pero de frágil estructura y belleza .

A través de sus diseños escultóricos, Rowan Mersh realiza experimentos con diversas formas añadiendo
un toque de arquitectura a sus creaciones.

Utiliza objetos tales como monedas recogidas en sus viajes, unidades de CD, vinilos…
Estos objetos se vuelven obsoletos, fundiéndose con la tela y los paisajes geométricos que crea. El cuerpo
se convierte básicamente en una forma tridimensional o espacio y así, puede ser tratado como una escultura.

Ya sea instalado en un espacio interior o en la forma femenina, es la creación de esculturas
y el espacio que ocupan, lo que determina la imagen de la obra
