Biography
Husband-and-wife artists, Antony and Sophie created Ministry of Materials, inspired by a shared love of LEGO and the vibrant memories of our childhood, we set out to create affordable, imaginative pieces that blend playfulness with artistic expression. Our passion has always been to tell stories through our work We are committed to making art that is as meaningful as it is approachable, bringing people together to celebrate the moments that shape us all.
inspiration
Our focus has always been to make art open to everyone regardless of there budget. We have always wanted to open the doors to those worried that buying a piece of artwork will be costly. With this in mind we looked at how we can make original pieces such as skateboard decks, alongside A5 prints that a child could buy with there pocket money. We remained true to the ethos and have developed innovative ways to keep costs down and the door to art open to all.
medium
Our artwork is mainly focused on print media, Sophie for example likes to work with a regular fine liner and then have her work professionally scanned and printed. In addition to this Sophie is one of only a handful female based automanata makers. Antony is a graphic designer and as such has a love of tech and what it can bring to traditional art practices.
