Summary
In this episode Gary Mansfield talks to Maggi Hambling Maggi Hambling is a prominent British painter and sculptor known for her expressive, often controversial work. Born in 1945 in Sudbury, Suffolk, she studied at the Ipswich School of Art and later at the Royal College of Art. Hambling’s art spans painting, sculpture and public memorials, frequently exploring themes of death, memory and the sea. One of her most famous public works is the Scallop (2003), a steel sculpture on Aldeburgh beach dedicated to the composer Benjamin Britten. The piece sparked debate but has since become an iconic landmark. Hambling also created the Oscar Wilde Memorial Sculpture near Trafalgar Square. Her paintings are often energetic and gestural, reflecting strong emotion and movement. Throughout her career, Hambling has been recognised for her bold artistic voice and her willingness to challenge traditional expectations in British art.
