Philip James Hedgecock (b.1975) is a classically trained sculptor and painter.

He has developed a practice rooted in classical realism while embracing a spirit of experimentation. Though deeply committed to the traditions of drawing, painting, and sculpting from life, his work often reaches beyond academic boundaries, exploring texture, gesture, and the intuitive freedom of mark-making.

Characterised by a sensitive command of form, expressive brushwork, and a contemplative atmosphere, his pieces reflect a lifelong pursuit of artistic mastery, rooted in observation yet open to play, discovery, and spiritual depth.

He currently lives and works between Florence and London.
