Hugh Hayden

Hugh Hayden (born 1983) is an American sculptor and former architect. Hayden is known for his wooden sculpture, often consisting of furniture or other domestic objects with large protruding spikes or tree branches.

Born and raised in Texas, Hayden first trained and worked as an architect in New York in the 2000s, designing spaces for corporate clients. In the early 2010s he began to focus more on his artistic practice, securing a studio and eventually attending graduate school for art.

Since refocusing on his art, Hayden has staged several solo exhibitions at galleries and museums across the United States and participated in a range of group exhibitions.
