Julian Mayor is a British artist and designer known for his sculptural works in welded sheet metal.
Using high-tech design processes, the artist creates each piece digitally on a computer before building them by hand in his workshop. Born in 1976, Mayor graduated with a BA in Industrial Design from the University of Northumbria in 1998, followed by earning his MA from the Royal College of Art in Design Products. After graduating in 2000, he moved to Northern California and worked for a design consultancy agency as a product and interior designer. By 2004, Mayor returned to London to work for U.K.-based agencies, including Pentagram, and collaborated with British designer Tom Dixon.
The artist’s work has been exhibited at the Victoria & Albert Museum London, the Museum of Arts and Design New York and Sculpture at Goodwood, East Sussex UK. He has installed a permanent series of sculptural benches in a park behind the Tate Britain in Pimlico, London. He is exhibited on re-known international art fairs (Tefaf, Design Miami, PAD...). Mayor lives and works in Doncaster, South Yorkshire.
