Charli Kleeman

Charli Kleeman is a Glasgow-based multimedia sculpture artist working in metal, ceramics, and wood.
Their work centres around the concept of Trans-Hypermasculinity- where transmasculine people radically embody hypermasculine traits, simultaneously reinforcing and dismantling them. This idea developed through research into Scottish deer stalking and its presentation as an ethical form of violence.
The sculptures incorporate references to hunting equipment, 18th-century laboratories, and the endurance of prey animals.
Craft is central to their practice. Imperfection is accepted; materials are chosen for their resistance.
Their degree show installation- ‘What If You Regret It’ was made during a period of strategic removal of trans rights in the UK. The work reflects on bodily autonomy, DIY hormone production, bio-hacking, and the need to perform dominance to survive it
