Will Budgett (b. 1993, Oxfordshire, UK) is a sculptor whose practice explores the dialogue between material, light, and perception. Through  the invisible choreography between matter and light, his work examines how form can shift between presence and absence. Balancing the precision of industrial fabrication with a sensitivity to space and atmosphere. 

Drawing on years of experience in design and advertising, Budgett brings a refined eye for visual rhythm, composition, and audience engagement. These sensibilities now inform his sculptural process, which begins not with a fixed form, but with a shadow. Light is a co-author in the sculpting processas , he allows projected silhouettes to guide the physical construction, responding in real time to the shapes cast on surrounding surfaces.

Budgett’s work has been exhibited at galleries and outdoor installations across the globe. Recently at the Florence Biennale XV, where he received the Lorenzo il Magnifico Prize for Sculpture, as well as the London Biennale, as well as other exhibitions at galleries in the UK, USA, NZ, Kyrgyzstan & Spain.

Viewers encountering his work are invited into a moment of quiet recognition, where abstract forms reveal hidden dancers frozen in fleeting motion. This visual transformation encourages reflection on perception and presence.​
