ANDREW HORSFALL SCULPTURE

Andrew Horsfall, a member of the Royal Society of British Sculptors, has established himself as one of the leading figures in contemporary English sculpture. He has been invited to display pieces at three consecutive Royal Academy exhibitions, in addition to the numerous exhibitions that have been dedicated entirely to his work.

 

Andrew has worked in a wide range of materials. One phase of his work reflected his interest in using recycled and storm damaged wood. Another phase explored techniques of casting in pewter and lead. But it is for his outstanding sculpture in stone that Andrew is chiefly known. The range of stone has encompassed English and French limestones and sandstones; and more recently marble, granite and Kirkstone’s green volcanic slates.

 

A recurring theme of Andrew’s work is the exploration of the correspondence between organic forms at the microcosmic and macrocosmic levels. His sculpture can evoke the monumental scale of the landscape - and it can also suggest an inward exploration of the sub-molecular world.

 

From the outset Andrew has been both a sculptor and a designer. The theme of his first catalogue was ‘design in sculpture: sculpture in design’ - and the interweaving of sculptural elements in the design of everyday objects has become the hallmark of his design studio.
