Eric Bainbridge has taken advantage of cheap, readily-made materials, re-imagining the stuff of second-hand shops, scrap metal yards and DIY stores, blowing up fake fur and wood effect melamine to comedy proportions or disguising them atop one another in complex balancing acts.

Eric Bainbridge was born in 1955 in Consett County Durham, United Kingdom. Initially recognized in the 1980s for his object-based works covered in synthetic fur, Eric Bainbridge has evolved an extensive sculptural practice, which addresses existential themes on an everyday level through playful assemblages constructed out of commonplace objects and inexpensive building materials, including melamine and chipboard. His pieces continuously re-contextualize Modernist principles through a reconsideration of the found object, using DIY home-repair and improvement supplies as well as kitschy consumer products. Carefully staged, Bainbridge’s assemblages not only investigate the domestic and the everyday but also reflexively engage with traditional sculptural concerns.
Eric Bainbridge has presented solo exhibitions in numerous museums and galleries including Eric Bainbridge, Potholes,Workplace, London (2016) and Northern Gallery for Contemporary Art, Sunderland, UK (2016), Eric Bainbridge, Workplace Gallery, UK (2014), MIMA, Middlesbrough (2008), Workplace Gallery, Gateshead, UK (2008), Galleria Caroline + Salvatore Ala, Milan (2004) DELFINA, London (1997), The Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam (1989), ICA, Boston (1987) and Walker Art Centre, Minneapolis (1986).
