Jason Hartcup went to St. Martin’s School of Art, London from 1974-1977, the rich sculptural environment of Anthony Caro, Phillip King, Barry Flanagan and previously the likes of Gilbert and George, Richard Long and Bill Woodrow.

Intrepid travelling led to the discovery of Australia, the land of his grand and great grand-parents. A quarter of a century later,
Jason and partner Victoria have a rich life in Melbourne with their two sons. Having shown his work extensively and lectured at The Victorian College of the Arts, the orientation nowadays is to the studio situated in beautiful countryside within easy reach of the city.
 
Working in a multiple of mediums, the more recent sculptures are referred to as “Wallforms” described as elaborately constructed plywood reliefs richly and variably painted. Currently, the focus is a series of outside steel sculptures.
