Jazmin van Breda (b.2001, Sussex) lives and works in London. Graduating from Central Saint Martins with a BA (Hons) in Fine Art, she works sculpturally specialising in woodwork and ceramics.

Jazmin creates pieces that are domestically familiar but with their functionality removed to highlight their form, tactility, and interaction with the body. Her sculptural work balances fun with tension reflective of the present and future for her generation. She also explores the displacement of objects within architectural space and considers how environment influences perception and response.

Inspired by architecture and furniture and the human relationship between the two, she captures human movement patterns symbolic of how audiences respond to artwork within different spaces, shaping the work to symbolise the awkward relationship people have with art within the public sphere. 

‘I consider the degree to which audiences are guided by the spaces around them and how we are inherently directed by the architecture we inhabit.’

Jazmin’s sculptures create a space that positions itself between the private and the public, highlighting the impact of public exposure and environmental influences on perception and interpretation. Connecting the audience to her work through emotional engagement, evoked by memory and personal daydreams, is at the heart of her practice.
