Wildlife sculptor Simon Gudgeon’s earliest days
were spent on the family farm in Yorkshire learning the artist’s essential skills of observation, evaluation,
interpretation. How animals and birds behave with each other and in the
presence of man. Learning to understand the importance of balance in nature and
man’s impact – good and bad.
Leopard
His latest work strongly
favours an even more pared down approach to wildlife sculpture with inspiration
springing from the smallest of details - the curve of a beak, the angle of the
neck – and then moulded into a form which suggests rather than dictates a
particular bird or mammal.
His greatest inspiration will always spring from
observing in the wild. Simon believes that before you can sculpt a creature,
you have to understand it and where it comes from and relating creatures to
their natural habitat.
