Sculptor in various materials, born in Stockton-on-Tees, County Durham, who made foundation studies at Wimbledon College of Art, 1992–3, graduating with honours in fine art from Chelsea College of Art & Design, 1994–7. His work could be witty, as in his piece Animal, 1998, included in the Hayward Gallery tour The British Art Show 5, 2000–1. Among solo exhibitions were Duncan Cargill Gallery, 1998; greengrassi, 2001; and Transmission, Glasgow, 2002. In 2003, Musgrave had a one-man show at Arnolfini, Bristol, part of Recognition One, for emerging British Artists. Of his anthropomorphic forms there, it was said that they “tantalise our desire to find the human in what we see.” Also in 2003, Musgrave was featured in the series Art Now at Tate Britain.
