Biography

Jane Simpson graduated from the Chelsea School of Art in London in 1988 and earned an MFA from the Royal Academy of Art in London in 1993. In 1994 she was included in the seminal exhibition “Some Went Mad, Some Ran Away,” curated by Damien Hirst, at the Serpentine Gallery, London. Simpson’s work was also part of the controversial “Sensation” exhibition of 1997.

Recent solo exhibitions include: "A Three Way Conversation with Myself" at the New Art Centre, Roche Court, Wiltshire (2005); "“Tableau" at CAC Malaga (2004); and "Somewhere (between freezing and melting) there lies passion" at both Galería Javier López, Madrid and Sandra Gering Gallery, New York (2004). Recent group exhibitions include "kissingcousins" curated by Jane Simpson and Sarah Staton at the Henry Moore Institute, Leeds (2007); "Weather Report (Art and Climate Change)" at the Centro Atlántico de Arte Moderno, Canary Islands (2007); and the Valencia Biennale (2005). Simpson’s work is part of many public and private collections including the Saatchi Collection, Arts Council of England, Damien Hirst’s Murderme Collection, British Council and the Colección Ciudad de Pamplona. Simpson is also the current production manager of a portfolio of prints called "House of Fairy Tales", which includes work by Dexter Dalwood, Cornelia Parker, Sir Peter Blake and Gavin Turk.

Simpson is well known for her sculptures, which involve various materials, from rubber casting techniques to sewing machines connected to refrigeration units so that they become covered with a layer of frost. Regarding her work, Simpson has said "I think of it as a marriage of two different technologies." [Robinson, Walter. “Weekend Update.” ArtNet, 11 March 2008.]
