Hatfield House The Great British Sculpture Show 5th April to 30th September 2014

Meet the Sculptors:

Judy Boyt. Thinking Inside The Box.
Judy Boyt is a sculptor and designer with a passion for the natural world. Her strong observational initial drawings are translated into sculpture using the 3D metal armatures as the ‘drawn line’.

Dorothy Brooks. Caught In Time.
London-based sculptor Dorothy Brooks presents her abstracted human forms in the most aesthetically pleasing and harmonious way.

Tessa Campbell Fraser. Flying Dream.
Tessa Campbell Fraser is accomplished in sculpture, oil painting and watercolour, and has completed many commissions in all mediums.

Diane Coates. Bauta.
Diane’s fascination with dynamic form and sensuous line is the foundation of her sculptural work.

Martin Cooke. Green Slate Standing Sundial.
Martin Cooke comes from a family of carvers dating back to 1730. His commissions have included the carved lettering for The Reading Room of The British Museum and works for members of the Royal Family, Billy Connolly and Sir Michael Parkinson.

Dido Crosby. Iron Stag.
Dido Crosby translates into bronze the essence of each animal.

Geoffrey Dashwood. Peregrine.
Dashwood produces refined sculptures to attain smooth, tactile, pure forms, further enhanced in bronze by the application of coloured and multi-coloured patinas. In these sculptures he combines his own aesthetic ideals, establishing a distinctive style which is now internationally recognised as being quintessentially Dashwood.

Nick Davis. Whispers from an Unwrinkled Horizon.
Nick’s work is collected throughout the world including his ‘Fragmentation’ table sold into the private collection of the Rockefeller Family. At the ICFF Nick Davis debuted his 2013 collection of etched bronze and stainless steel furniture. A fantastic response, sales and many offers from showrooms in the US and UK were made.

Paul Day. Femme Assiesse.
Paul Day’s exhibitions attract considerable interest from both the public and media alike. This appeal of an artist who is unquestionably of his time but whose world links up with a longstanding tradition is rare.

Jeni Fairey. Balance.
During her time at Tussauds Jeni became interested in anatomy and has pursued this interest which informs and inspires her sculptural work.

David Goode. Small Ferry Man.
The inspiration for David’s work stretches back to a childhood fascination with myths and folklore, and a love of the writings of Tolkein.

David Harber. Mantle.
David Harber creates beautiful, one-off pieces on a human or monumental scale for indoor environments and outdoor landscapes. Each piece is hand-built using both traditional and modern techniques in his Oxfordshire studio.

Annika Hellgren.
Annika Hellgren’s work is centred on the human form with focus on expressing the human condition as well as an idealised state of mind. Materiality versus illusion and corporeality versus the spiritual.

Brendan Hesmondhalgh. Greyhound on Circle.
Brendan Hesmondhalgh creates sculptural works that encapsulate and embody a creature’s spirit in inimitable style. Using sculptural surfaces like that of a canvas, directional and textural marks are included to enhance each form.

John Joyce. Corvus.
John Joyce’s sculptures focus primarily on the study of the natural world, and the human anatomy. Through manipulation and exaggeration of form, and through the illusion of the perceived weight of an object, serves to create a dynamic tension within the work, and as a result has a profound effect on the balance of the compositions as a whole.

Hamish Mackie. Bull Head.
Largely self-taught, Hamish’s style is unique; his work captures the inner core, strength, and grace of the subject. His sculptures are his own interpretation, and not a photographic representation of the subject, through his close observation and his expressive manipulation of the materials Hamish is able to capture an instinctive moment of animal behaviour.
