Bradley Childs (b. 1997) is a British artist and maker. He currently lives and works between Chelmsford and London. Childs gained his fine art degree at Central St Martins, completing an exchange program at the Royal Academy of Art, The Hague.

 

Upon graduation, Childs began working for London-based furniture designer Edward Collinson. He started as an intern and was later employed full-time as a junior furniture maker.

In 2021, he was an artist in residence at Hinterraum Berlin, a then-new art initiative, project space, music venue and studios. In 2022, he began employment in a research and material development role by Factum Arte. The project was for the development and installation of Muhannad Shono's 'The Teaching Tree' for the national pavilion of Saudi Arabia, La Biennale de Venezia.

In 2023, he worked as an assistant for Henrique Olivera, predominantly on 'Ouroboros'. A permanent installation at Le Partage des Eaux. He maintains this role on a freelance basis. Childs later went on to study a second BA (Hons) degree in historic carving: architectural stone at the City and Guilds of London art school. Exhibitions have been regular, showing with The Who Gallery (TWG), Zerui, Koppel project and more in London, Berlin, LA and China.
