Andrew Horsfall is one of England’s leading contemporary sculptors. He is a member of the Royal Society of British Sculptors, has received three consecutive invitations to display his work at Royal Academy exhibitions, and numerous exhibitions have been dedicated to his work.

 

Over the course of his creative life as a sculptor, Andrew has created sculptures from a wide range of materials, including one phase that used recycled and storm-damaged wood, and another that used pewter lead. More recently, he has been exploring a technology-driven approach that utilises both 3D and digital printing. Despite these experimental phases, Andrew is primarily known for his sculptures in stone, mainly English and French limestones and sandstones, with recent investigations of marble and granite.

 

A recurring theme in his work is the exploration of organic forms at the microcosmic and macrocosmic levels, evoking the monumental of the landscape and the inward exploration of the sub-molecular world.

 

Alongside purely artistic endeavours, Andrew is also behind the design and production company Stone of Destiny, whose philosophy is good quality design and hand-craftsmanship. Using natural materials from granite, to quartz and marble, often inlayed with semi-precious stones, each unique project meets contemporary tastes with a natural element.  

 

"I sculpt because I love form, shape, curves between different entities. I can visualise the shape in my head and carving it is a matter of taking the wrapping off a present, that you know is inside, but it is always a surprise".
