Conor Ackhurst (b. 1995, London) is a visual artist working across sculpture, installation, video, print, and performance. He received a BA in Fine Art and History of Art from Goldsmiths, University of London. His practice centres on the construction of unstable environments through the assemblage of found and fabricated elements. These spatial interventions compress and distort everyday structures, such as the crushed interior of a car, a passageway transformed into an impossible collision of doors, or a cave narrowed to claustrophobic proportions. This simulated world-building acts as a confrontation with potential violence, presenting it as a boundary experience.

In 2023, he was a finalist for the CIRCA Prize, with his film Dash Cam Comp. Fade to Black screened in Piccadilly Circus, Berlin, and Milan. That same year, he received a Developing Your Creative Practice grant from Arts Council England, and in 2022 was awarded the OMNI Artist Award. His solo exhibitions include Hide (SVA Gallery, Stroud, 2025), Crumple Zone (Soft Commodity, London, 2024), and Grounded (St. Chad's, London, 2024). His work has been exhibited internationally, and he has undertaken residencies in Mexico and Bulgaria. He was recently interviewed in Emergent Magazine, discussing the evolving concerns of his sculptural practice.
