About The Artwork

'And When I'm A Man' is a life-size sculpture of the artist, Wayne Chisnall, as a twelve piece, pre-assembled, model kit. As well as being a self-portrait, the piece engages with the artist’s interest in nostalgia and childhood perceptions of adulthood (and the role that toys play in this). One important aspect of the piece is its colour. The artist chose to use the same colour as the green plastic soldiers that he used to play with as a child. But rather than go back and find examples of these toys to accurately match the colour, he chose a colour that matched his memory of it – recognising that the passage of time would have altered and exaggerated the memory of it and produced something far more lurid. And When I’m a Man was produced in 1998 but apart from appearing in a couple of small shows around that time and a brief appearance in the film Scratch directed by Jakob Rørvik, the sculpture has sat in storage – until now, where it can be seen at Scream gallery’s States of Reverie exhibition in Mayfair, London. The show features two more pieces by Chisnall, Magnet and Book Tower II (Nostalgia For a Childhood That Wasn’t Mine), as well as work by six other up-coming artists. This sculpture has now been sold and is in the collection of Dawood and Tanner, Mayfair, London.

BIOG A Fine Art practitioner with a background in book, magazine, and technical illustration; British artist, Wayne Chisnall, is now as well known for his sculptural work, paintings, drawings and prints. He is a winner of the Royal British Society of Sculptors Bursary Award with a solid history of exhibiting nationally (an example being the Victoria and Albert Museum's 'Baroque To The Future' exhibition, in which he exhibited eight sculptures) and internationally. As well as exhibiting in museums and art galleries his work has feature in films, TV, books and magazines; including BBC 2's 'The Culture Show', Channel 4 News, London Live, Channel 4's 'Four Rooms', Penguin/DK's 'The Artist's Manual', and ‘Out of The Box’ by 8 Books Publishing. His sculptures have appeared in the feature film, 'Scratch', directed by Jakob Rørvik, and in 2013 he was commissioned to produce a series of paintings for the horror film 'Blaze of Gory'. The artist's work is featured regularly in on-line articles and interviews, including two separate features in The Huffington Post/Huffpost. Chisnall also organises and runs art/sculpture workshops for schools, hospitals and businesses, including ones for ING Bank's London headquarters via the Royal British Society of Sculptors and Great Ormond Street Children's Hospital. He was the recipient of the Amazing Art Award in the 2017 Dyslexia Awards. The actor, John Malkovich, chose Chisnall's script, 'Doppelganger', as the winning entry in the 2008 Sony VAIO Scriptwriting competition. This script, along with Malkovich's was then turned into the short animated film, 'Snow Angel’. “I’m going to go with the “Doppelganger” script. It’s clever, inventive, and somehow both surprising and inevitable. Very neatly done all in all.” John Malkovich (4th Jan. 2008). As well as working on his own projects the artist accepts commissions. His clients include The Vaults London, Brooke Roberts Innovation Agency, the luxury fashion brand Éthologie by Jasper Garvida, Mary Fox Linton, Andy Martin Architects, Converse, Dawood and Tanner, Domus, the Victoria and Albert Museum, Ctrl.Alt.Shift, various private collectors, and the Ping Pong restaurant chain, for whom he designed the interior artwork and decor of their new restaurant opposite Wembley Stadium.
