Tom Grimsey

Artist Tom Grimsey was born in London in 1960. He studied sculpture at Wimbledon School of Art and later St Martin’s, before being awarded the Henry Moore Sculpture Fellowship at Manchester Metropolitan University in 1990.

Although he works in a range of materials, his particular specialism is metalwork and its application in the design of the public realm. Since 1997 Tom has worked as an artist consultant to local authorities and the health service, including a prestigious commission from West Bromwich Council to collaborate with the award-winning architects Alsop + Stormer and develop a series of multi media sculptures for the re-development of the town centre. Other recent commissions include landscaping works for a new general hospital in Newhaven, and sculptures for Birmingham’s Jewellery Quarter.

Tom also combines his creative practice with teaching in the sculpture departments at Demontfort University, Leicester and Brighton University.
