The Sculptor

After a successful career in business, Michael made a “change of life” decision to pursue his ambition to become a sculptor. He studied at Chelsea College of Fine Art and for the past 6 years has been working from his studio close to Tate Modern at The Sculpture Academy in Southwark, London. His work sells to private collectors around the world.

In his work Michael draws heavily from his own personal experiences, presenting his interpretation of the human condition. Our environment, our families, our neighbours, and the society we live in – all are interlinked and interdependent. As he explores the balance between conflicting forces and emotions, his work is visually striking and reflects a passion and enthusiasm for life.

Michael’s work lends itself to the large scale hence he has been sought to undertake a number of private and public commissions. The most recent of these being a 5 m tall bronze which stands as the centrepiece of a new London hospital unit in the borough of Newham and was unveiled by the Secretary of State for Health.


His Figurative Work

Michael works in both cold-cast and foundry bronze.

Cold-cast bronze is made from bronze suspended in resin, and strengthened with fiber-glass. In most cases the “patination” (colour and finish) is the same as that of foundry bronze. Cold-cast bronze is suitable for both inside and outdoor locations and with care, will last a lifetime.

Foundry bronze is hot poured bronze using traditional methods. It is very strong and is recommended for more delicate works. There is a wider range of “patination” and the choices of finish can be more subtle. Foundry bronze will last not only for a lifetime, but for generations to come.

In some pieces (Embrace, Focused, Global Juggler, Parallel Plane) lettering can be seen within the texture, initially not forming readable text, but as the work is completed, this lettering forms an essential part of the creative process.
