‘Seated Nude in Blue’ – Contemporary Sculpture
On show at the Rossocinabro Gallery, Rome, Italy
At the Monat Gallery Madrid, Spain from May
This piece has been cast in bronze by the Talos Art Foundry. I usually start a new piece of work by bending a metal round bar in the workshop vice. Its a technique I have found that works well with my love of a natural curve. I created the first sculpture by playing with shapes in a basic armature. The shape was ‘found’ during working up the piece in clay. However my first attempt was much ‘squatter’ so I reworked the armature twice until I had a proportion that I found pleasing. If you are starting to follow my work you will notice that I pay little attention to accurate size for arms or legs etc. I like disproportion as it helps to achieve a flowing line that satisfies my eye. I use no reference material for any of my sculptures which can greatly increase the time for making any piece, but the end effect I feel is more honest and more ‘me’.
I oversaw the patination and the effect in the hand is very striking. Its 40 cms tall so is a substantial weighty bronze which will have a good amount of impact in any home. The bronze illustrated is no 1 of an edition of 9. Should you wish to place an order please allow 8-10 weeks for delivery, I am sure you will be thrilled with this sculpture.

‘Nude With Stretched Arms’ – Contemporary Sculpture
On show at the Monat Gallery Madrid, Spain from May
At the Paris Art Fair, France in September 2021
This is a piece that was quite complex to sculpt. As you can see there is lots of detail within the stretched arms and legs which makes for an interesting sculpture. The dynamic of the piece centres around the curved spine which I have sculpted in an exaggerated contemporary style. With the head between the arms this piece has a lot of emotional character. I was very pleased with the overall piece as it was very complicated to cast at the foundry. This piece will feature in the solo show in September, please email for more details.

‘The Tall Lady ‘ – Contemporary Sculpture
On show at the Sussex Art Fair at Goodwood, July 2021
This piece will feature in the London solo show in September, please email for more details.
The idea for this figure came about from my doodling in my sketch books. Followers of my work ‘know that finding a continuous line in my figures is important to me. I deliberately made the body very elongated in order to enhance this effect and I feel it works well, particularly displayed in a natural setting.

‘The Flying Man’ – Contemporary Sculpture
This sculpture will be on show during the Surrey Sculpture Society ‘Art In The Garden’ show at The Savill Garden, Windsor Great Park, Berkshire late September to November 2021.
This piece was constructed in stainless steel and concrete and the original is displayed outside my studio in Sussex. Now available as a limited edition of 5 in bronze cast by the Talos Foundry. This sculpture works well when displayed on a plinth where the feeling of movement comes alive. The bronze hand has been welded to the steel ring and the weight is carefully distributed to provide stability, however in a goodish breeze the figure gently moves which I find adds to the power of this piece.

‘The Winged Man’ – Contemporary Sculpture
I have noticed that many sculptors create winged creatures and I can see why. The wings give lots of opportunities to express shapes that carry emotional responses. I bent 10mm rebar for the the armature welding each piece carefully, knowing that I was going to reveal the edge detail in the final bronze. The clay work came reasonably easily for the wings but I struggled with the chest until I exaggerated the ribbing detail. This piece has been cast by The Milwyn Foundry in London, with the final patina by Alex Davies, which is a classic Henry Moore verdigris colour and texture. It shimmers in many lights revealing many facets of detail and textures. I know as an artist its very bad form to be ‘self congratulatory!’ but I absolute love this piece. This will be on show during the first two weeks of March in London.
