The Artist - Brendon MurlessI create sculptures for both indoor and outdoor settings, which range from small mantlepiece sized to large scale, garden and public sculptures. Taking inspiration from the human form and beauty within nature, my work explores the body in different forms, poses and materials, emphasising the integral connection between humans and nature. While I start my sculptures with an idea or theme, I also leave them open to interpretation by the viewer. My sculptures are either unique pieces or limited editions and combine the understanding, knowledge and love of a vast range of materials and techniques in bronze, copper, wood, stone and resins. For each piece of new work I start with an idea, but am open to continual exploration of materials to marry them with the desired form. The material informs the shape and finish that the final piece takes. From my workshop based in the beautiful countryside of west Dorset I continue to develop my passion and knowledge of sculpture, materials and the human form. Over the years I have secured a wide variety of commissions from private and public clients, with work in galleries and collections across the country and abroad. | |
