Charles Hadcock

Charles William George Hadcock is a British sculptor[1] (born 1965 in Derby, England) known for his monumental sculptures that incorporate elements of geology, engineering, and mathematics.

Charles Hadcock's work incorporates aspects of the natural world, geology and engineering, either overtly or covertly.

Finding that the mathematical formulas for shapes observed within the natural world are often the source for solving engineering design problems, Hadcock has incorporated these ideas both at first and at second hand into components for his sculptures.

Investigating Multiples, a 1996 solo exhibition in London at Reed's Wharf Gallery[6][7] followed the siting of Caesura IV[8][9] at Sculpture at Goodwood.

A 1999 exhibition of Hadcock's drawings and maquettes If in doubt, ask at London's Imperial College[13][14][15] was part of a drive by the university to encourage engineering students to learn about the arts.

At this time Hadcock moved his studio from London to Lancashire, as he required additional space and facilities to enable the production of the monumental works being frequently commissioned for locations around the country.
