From elephants and leopards to delicate garden birds, every animal is acutely observed in its natural habitat. So well observed are his subjects, that he is able to remove all of their extraneous details without losing any of the faithfulness to their appearance and character. His work shows not only an in-depth knowledge of his subject but also a keen sense for the more abstract qualities of line, form, colour and texture. His sculptures are about suggestion, subtle movement and the essence of the animal.
Adam creates his masterpiece sculptures at his studio in the Cotswolds, where he grew up, the work is then cast by Sculpture Castings foundry and hand-painted by Head Patinator and fellow sculptor, Adam Paddon.
Adam won the David Shepherd Wildlife Artist of the Year in 2010 and 2011, and was elected a Member of the Society of Wildlife Artists in 2011.
“Nature is a wonder and a joy to observe and it’s through my sculpture that I endeavour to connect further with wildlife and capture the character of my subject. While I’m sculpting I feel that I’m engaging with the spirit of the animal, sensing its subtle movement and suggestion of body language.
For me, nature and sculpture are the perfect marriage. I see repetition in form, line, mass and detail throughout the natural world, sculpted over time but in perfect harmony. Conscious of these patterns, the concept for a sculpture becomes active in my mind and only when the composition, balance and emotion is clear do I begin to sculpt. I want to portray the simplicity of form, smooth flowing lines, natural rhythm and in doing so, free the eye to engage in the detail. Nature is my passion and my constant distraction.”
