Sculptor and artist. Born Douglas, Isle of Man. After twenty years of living and working in Ireland he is now (2023) based in Hastings. His practice includes performance, sculpture, film and video, installation and site-specific public art.
Other London work: A Body of Work, 1982, bronze, Langdon Park School, E14; Platforms Piece, 1986, three bronze sculptures of commuters on the platforms of Brixton railway station. Two of these figures are believed to be the "first public sculptural representations of black British people in the UK".
We are not certain that this image shows Atherton but Google throws it up, and the man does seem very similar to the self-portrait statue. We think the image is from a video, possibly one created by Atherton himself.
