Michael Chaikin
Michael Chaikin was born in 1957 in Kingston on Thames. He now lives and works
near the small fishing village of Mousehole. Ever since he was a young child he
has had a fascination with the way things worked, he used to take his train
apart and then try to put it back together just to see how it moved on the
inside.
Michael loves the simple beauty of random movement in
sculpture.
Michael studied Medicine and was a hospital doctor for a
while before falling in love with Sculpture. He completed his medical studies
and was a hospital doctor and GP while he started studying at Eastbourne Art
College, East Sussex, UK in 1986 (foundation studies) then Falmouth Art
College, Cornwall, UK (1987 - 1990) where he obtained a degree in Fine Art. He
taught sculpture at Hawkesbay University, New Zealand and the Joined Red
Herring Studios in Brighton as a working sculptor. Exhibited in London,
Brighton, Hamburg, Paris with numerous one man shows the last one in Feb 2011
