Jamie McCartney

Jamie McCartney is a British artist known for bold, body-centered work that challenges social taboos around sex, identity, and the human form. With a degree in Experimental Art and a love of science, his provocative practice blends anatomical precision with emotional and political charge.

He rose to global fame with The Great Wall of Vagina (now Vulva)—a monumental installation of 400 vulva casts created to combat genital shame and normalize diversity. His work now lives in museums, medical spaces, and public discourse, offering powerful counter-narratives to perfection culture.

From glass sculptures of internal vaginas to genital casts from around the world, Jamie’s art makes the invisible visible—celebrating bodies as they are. He’s currently working on projects involving the Holocaust, live volcanoes, and global sand collection, proving no subject is too sacred or strange.

McCartney speaks widely on the boundary between art and pornography, and the power of creativity to drive cultural change. As he puts it: “Art has a crucial role in changing attitudes towards our sexual bodies.”
