Charlie Hamish Jeffery, born in Oxford in 1975, lives and works in Paris and Chassaygne (burgundy).


The work of Charlie Hamish Jeffery is animated by contrary moods and strengths, his work oscillates between painting, film/video, performance, gardening, baking,  sculpture and furniture making and poetry. In order to make forms, things are often broken, or assembled from the broken, but also rotted down, composited and nourished. Paintings are rubbed together or made from left overs.  Text and language are used generously, scattered here and there. Growth, contamination and dispersion, dissolution, uncertainty and irresolution, perform roles in his work. The public or viewer are often invited into works where they may spend time, read, dwell, share and converse, the work is from time to time consumed as juiced sculptures, bread, honey or soup. 


He graduated from the Fine Art School of Reading University (United Kingdom).
He has had an extensive teaching career that goes hand in hand with his own production.  He is currently teaching at EMA, Chalon sur Saone, he has taught at F+F Schule für Kunst unt Design, Zurich, L'ecole des Beaux Arts de Marseille et L'école special d'Architecture in Paris.  He has give lectures and workshops in numerous art schools.
