Jed Buttress is an award-winning investigative artist who works predominantly with sculpture, installation and digital media. Based in the UK, he has a 1st Class Bachelor's degree in Fine Art from Newcastle University. Combining an interest in science and psycho-geography, and injecting a dark sense of humour into his work, he has displayed work in galleries across the country, alongside artists such as Antony Gormley and Lubaina Himid.

From 2021 - 2023, he served as curator for the Newcastle Arts Centre gallery, and in 2023 he launched the Brass Tacks project: a six-month programme of events, exhibitions and skills development opportunities for emerging and established local artists - supported by the Creative Central: NCL programme and funded by the North of Tyne Combined Authority and Newcastle City Council.

In January 2020, he launched aShopThatSellsArt.com, an online art-selling platform that he manages and curates.

Jed was also a founding member of Valence, a programme that allows artists, scientists and researchers to collaborate together. In addition to his residency with the WCMR, he has been funded by the Wellcome Trust, the Newcastle Alumni Association Fund, the Newcastle Institute for Creative Arts Practice, the Newcastle University Humanities Research Institute and the Bartlett Offsite Award.

As of 2020, Jed regularly teaches sculpting workshops at the Newcastle Arts Centre.

In his spare time, he writes, solves mysteries and masters dungeons.
