Unique Metal Sculpture by Graham Hawkins

“Steelquirks” describes Graham’s work perfectly; hand-crafted in steel with a quirky twist in construction, form or theme.

 

Graham spent much of his youth around art and more specifically sculpture, helping his Father who worked at Bath Academy of Art.

 

After a career in IT, he returned to art as a purely personal pastime, creating metal sculptures using skills learned over 30 years ago. As the sculptures filled his home and garden he was encouraged to share his work with a wider audience.

 

Having had no formal art education beyond A level, Graham feels no restrictions as to what or how he should make things and does not feel the need to pursue a single direction.

 

Inspiration springs from many sources; whilst out walking, in the garden, and quirky ideas which pop into and percolate in his over-active brain. The latter just beg to be brought to life before he can move on.

Great news! In the recent open exhibition at the White Chalk Gallery in Devizes, my sculpture 'Playtime' won third prize in the judges vote.
