MALCOLM BARRETT: Born in Chester, now living in Devon, Malcolm is a self-taught fne art sculptor. With no formal training in art, Malcolm honed his skills in sculpture through unconventional methods, originally training to repair car bodies as a professional panel beater and sprayer. After this, he worked in a boatyard, becoming profcient in all aspects of fbreglassing and mould making. It was these two jobs that helped Malcolm achieve his dreams of becoming an artist. Using car body fller, fbreglass and rubber moulds Malcolm creates his uniquely smooth and tactile sculptures. Malcolm says: “My journey into sculpture started many years ago. I was unaware at the time that the trade that I had decided to train in would lead me into the sculpture that I create today. I hope my artwork makes people smile.”
