Artwork Description
After spending time referencing at various hunts for equine and hound sculptures through the years, the one moment that would always stick out to Steve is when the hounds elegantly and effortlessly clear the fence without breaking stride and continue their path to the scent.
That’s where the inspiration of this piece was born, with the latter part of the fence jump being the focus. Steve has created a magnificent piece of sculpture with a lovely balanced composition which completely encaptivates the whole effortless flow of the hound in movement. The delicacy of the piece being poised only on the front feet, makes this a very light and pleasing piece that looks brilliant in any room.
Biography
As a long serving trustee and wildlife conservationist enthusiast, Steve has travelled the world gaining inspiration and knowledge about animals. He began expressing the inspiration through painting, but with an engineering background it wasn’t long before he taught himself to sculpt and then later launched his own family run studio and foundry in 2002. The business has now flourished and boasts more than 20 years of experience in delivering a huge number of challenging and varied commissions.
Steve is a world renowned sculptor and works with a number of well established names from the fine-art world, including: Halcyon Gallery, Carrs Silver, Monaco Fine Arts, Hickmet Fine Arts, Sotheby’s, Christies, LAPADA and BADA. Along the journey of working with precious metals Steve and his family have obtained the skills to work with silver and gold and have been granted their own British Hallmark. Sports fans may also be familiar with his flagship piece at Wembley Stadium: this spectacular bronze commissioned by the charity Rugby League Cares, features five legends of Rugby League which is now considered a Wembley landmark in its own right.
