Sophie Dickens is a contemporary British sculptor. Her instantly recognisable, exuberant sculptures have adorned cathedrals and enlivened skylines from London to LA. United by an energy and wit, her body of work is broad and restless, covering a wide range of abstract and figurative subject matter, installations of packs and flocks, athletes, gods and lovers.

Armed with a degree in the history of art from the Courtauld Institute, Sophie Dickens set out to learn the practicalities of making figurative sculpture, attending the Sir John Cass School of Art, and also the department of anatomy at University College, London. Her distinctive style comes from her technique of building figures from abstract geometric shapes of curved wood and attaching them to an armature to create fluid, muscular forms.
