Coco Crampton

Coco Crampton (b.1983, London, UK) co-opts craft traditions through playful gestures. Often working sculpturally, her artworks breathe new life into historical forms, ranging from Victorian furniture to 20^th-century design icons. Weaving together function and fiction Coco’s work embodies a performativity, activated in the imagination of the viewer.

Coco studied at Norwich School of Art and Design (UK) before graduating from the Royal Academy Schools, London, in 2014. She lives and works in Devon (UK).

Select exhibitions include Shaping Time: Coco Crampton & Joseph Goody, Sims Reed Gallery, with Oliver Projects, London, UK (2024); Louise Bristow & Coco Crampton // Plan for Living, Weald Contemporary, West Sussex, UK (2024); Coco Crampton & Charlott Weise: Sketches for the Future, Belmacz at Miart 2024, Milan, Italy (2024); Domestic Wears, Belmacz, London, UK (2020-2021); Handles on Romance & Other Girls also Common Tongue, The Minories Galleries, Colchester, UK (2015).
