The focus of this weeks feature is Sculptor,
David Mayne. We are starting to see a lot of exciting sculptors and sculptural artwork on the scene at Gallereo, and hope that we can share that with you. We thought that David's work would be a good place to start.
As a practising sculptor, David not only makes fantastic works in bronze, steel and wood, but he spends a great deal of time involved in education work surrounding sculpture in both school and community settings. David puts a great deal of effort into projects that both introduce children to the world of sculpture, but also in helping those who teach them on a day-to-day basis understand more about sculpture, and how that can be used throughout a childrens education.
While working with electric welders, and heavy duty power tools in his own studio to create his bronze, steel and wooden sculptures, David adjusts his practise when working with children to include more easily-obtainable materials, that are far easier to work with in that environment.
Besides his own work, and the work that he does in educating others, David has also worked on a number of public art projects across the UK. He has created everything from decorative gates and railings to larger landmark sculptures, with commissions coming from Local Authorities, Charities and Corporate clients.
David has a full range of work available to view on his website and is available for commissions. A lot of time, effort and attention to detail clearly goes into David's sculptures and we look forward to seeing any new work that pops up on the site in the future.
