Sean Crampton first studied sculpture during the 1930’s in Birmingham’s Central College of Art. He became a Professeur De Sculpture at the Anglo-French art centre in St John’s Wood, London in the 1940’s.

Sean had seventeen one-man shows in London’s West End, and for more than 40 years was a member of the Royal Society of British Sculptors, including a five year period as President. He was a winner of the society’s Silver Medal and Otto Beit Medal, and was also a member of the Royal Society of Arts and a member of the Art Workers Guild.

He enjoyed working with religious themes throughout his career and his major works can be found in many churches and civic centres.

A Note From Sean’s Son; Dan Crampton:

“In his Guardian obituary, my father was described as “an artist forged by war” and it is worthy of note that in winter 1944 he was being shipped back from Italy having lost his leg in an extraordinary act of bravery during the early stages of the battle of Monte Cassino.

He was already an artist when WW2 started, sculpting before the war from the age of 12, and after the war he continued, often experimenting with different genres and mediums, though phosphor bronze became his favoured material for the finished piece. Producing some fantastic and fantastical sculptures and other art throughout the rest of his life, he was an important figure in the art world from the late 50s until his death.
