About Jonathan Hateley:
With a background in sculpting for TV, film, and theatre - including The Phantom of the Opera and the English National Opera - as well as illustrating children’s books, Jonathan turned his focus to creating his own sculptures.
Working from his studio in the East Sussex countryside, he draws constant inspiration from the natural world. Many pieces feature low-relief elements, hand-finished and painted to enhance depth and character.
His sculptures are cast in bronze and resin bronze, suitable for indoor and outdoor display, including gardens and public spaces. Each piece is produced in limited editions and hand-painted in his distinctive style, making every sculpture a unique work of art.
His work has become highly sought after, with editions regularly selling out to collectors worldwide. He exhibits widely across the UK and internationally, with regular appearances at art fairs and gallery shows in New York, Singapore, and Hong Kong.
His outdoor sculptures have also been widely exhibited in public venues such as RHS Wisley, RHS Hyde Hall, Hampton Court and Chelsea Flower Shows, Chichester Cathedral, Ascot and Cheltenham, Savill Garden in Windsor Great Park (Crown Estate), and historic sites including Leeds Castle, Woburn Abbey, Chenies Manor.
In recognition of his contributions to the arts, he was recently made a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts (FRSA).
