Lindsey Mendick (b.1987) is a Margate-based artist who works primarily with ceramics, embedding her sculptures within installations that include stained glass, film, furniture, large stage sets and performance. Her autobiographical work offers a form of catharsis, encouraging the viewer to explore their own personal history through the revisionist lens of the artist.
Mendick received a BA from Sheffield Hallam University and an MA in Sculpture from the Royal College of Art, London. She was the recipient of the Sky Arts Award in Visual Art in 2024, the Henry Moore Foundation Artist Award in 2020, the Alexandra Reinhardt memorial award in 2018 and was selected for Jerwood Survey in 2019 and the Future Generations Art Prize in 2020. Mendick has participated in solo and group exhibitions at Jupiter Artland, Yorkshire Sculpture Park, Hayward Gallery, Carl Freedman Gallery, Somerset House, Jeffrey Deitch, Cooke Latham, and Hannah Barry Gallery, among others. In 2025, she presented Wicked Game, an ambitious outdoor installation at Kenilworth Castle. With her partner, the artist Guy Oliver, Mendick initiated Quench Gallery in Margate to provide vital support for early career artists through exhibitions and mentoring.
