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.

 

When asked what inspires him, Graham’s usual reply is “anything and everything”.  He’s even been known to pause the TV to take a photo of something which catches his eye and sparks his imagination.

So it's a new year and I'm off to a busy start.

 

I have been invited back to The Heart of the Tribe gallery in Gastonbury to take part in their first exhibition of 2025

"Here & Now"

 

It runs until March 2nd. Please go and take a look. It's a great Gallery with a collection of very diverse art works.

Lot's to see an do in Glastonbury so you can make a day of it.

Prices do not include shipping.

I do not have a web based shop, I prefer people to have the opportunity to view, hande and fully experience my work before committing to making a purchase.

 

Accordingly I attend local Art Fairs in Chippenham, Cirencester and Bath. I have also had my work in a number exhibitions, and on display in galleries. Below is a list of Art Fairs I will be attending in the coming months.
