    The Last Bow by Jane Shaw – £3,240

    THE LAST BOW – Head of a Horse (Outside piece)

    Bronze resin: £3,240
    Bronze: £8,000 (as a limited edition of 12)

    Jane Shaw on this sculpture: 
    The shape of horses heads vary hugely in size, shape, personality and feel.  I never tire of looking at the head of a horse.  It is a subject which has been represented in art through the ages in many shapes and guises.  Ironically, you often see horses heads in the fields, looking down, munching away, or occasionally you may spot them sniffing the ground, before they move onto the ground and role!

    I tried to sculpt a horse head on its nose a number of years ago, using plaster and scrim and infact it ended up a terrible mess, as gravity got the better of me, and working out their shape when on the nose I found very hard.  However, I returned to it a few years ago, and worked slowly on the sculpture, often leaving it to lie dormant for many months in my studio, in its raw state of plaster and scrim.  It’s amazing how the eye constantly scans shapes, over time, and develops an understanding of what is right and wrong.  And then during one of the lock downs, I decided to finish the sculpture.

    This bronze or resin horse head represents, for me, the last bow.  A passing of time from one place to another.   Perhaps its quite a sad piece, but one of thankfulness and calm.  The horse has had a good life and he has returned to you, to say ‘thank you’ for the last time.

    This bronze equestrian sculpture of a head of a horse can be cast in bronze as a limited edition of 12 and can be mounted on a corten steel base which is bespoke to your requirements depending on the space.  

    It can look spectacular inside the home or in the garden or courtyard.

    SPEED – HEAD OF A HORSE

    The equestrian world has been in my blood since I was a young child and now my love of horses has passed on to one of my daughters, so once again the house is filled with equestrian photos and drawings! The animal yard is often a place where I am found sketching horses, trying to capture the essence and movement of this wonderfully graceful animal.

    For this equestrian sculpture, I was inspired by the Head of the Horse of Selene from the Parthenon in Greece which has become one of the most widely-recognised and popular of the Parthenon sculptures. Whilst that horse head was carved in marble, I sculpted my horse’s head in clay and have kept the markings from my knife – giving a much more rugged and sculpted finish. I never like the viewer to forget that they are looking at a sculpture first and therefore like to show off the material used.

    The finished equestrian piece is of a life size horse’s head and is slightly more stylised than my other sculptures, but with a total focus on the head of the horse. I wanted to capture the horse when he’s out of control, his head is strong, and his ears are back, and his power is beyond human control. The head of a horse can say so much.

    This equestrian sculpture can be displayed inside in a large area, ideally at eye level, and its on a Portland stone base, but equally it could rest on a garden wall or be given a plinth of your choice to fit the space it will fill.

  • Mrs Darling by Jane Shaw – £2,500

    Mrs Darling by Jane Shaw – £2,500

    MRS DARLING – Head of a Zwartbles Sheep

    LIMITED EDITION OF 25

    MATERIAL: BRONZE RESIN

    MEASUREMENTS: H 45 CM (147CM INCLUDING STAND) L40CM W40CM

    BASE: BLACK METAL BASE

    Jane Shaw on this sculpture: 

    MRS DARLING – HEAD OF A ZWARTBLES SHEEP

    Mrs Darling is a pet Zwartbles Sheep who lived with us for over two years.  She would come into the house, loved horse feed, pasta and bread.  Basically any food other than sheep pellets!  She would wander around the garden eating all the flowers and grass and then wondered why she was banished to the stable at night rather than our house!

    She became old and wise, and had an amazingly expressive face, which I would constantly endeavour to draw and photograph in order to try and capture her spirit.  Sadly, I still have not managed to create a good drawing of her.

    Before she died, I decided to create a  sculpture of her face in clay, and so found myself in the yard for hours and hours and this is what I produced as a bronze wild life sculpture, even though Mrs Darling was more of a pet!  Certain features I have exaggerated like her extraordinary ears which were always moving in opposite directions to one another.  Her huge staring eyes, always watching your every move in total silence.  The wonderful textural contrast from her black smooth face to her big thick body of fur.

    Mrs Darling died soon after I completed the sculpture which broke our hearts and saddened many who knew her in Dorset.   She was a special old girl.

    As a life-size bronze sculpture, I have positioned it on a thin, dark metal stand to minimise distraction from her face.  It’s at eye level or just below and looks very striking in the corner of a room with contemporary or antique surrounds, or in the garden or a court yard.

    The sculpture can be cast as a limited edition of 25 in bronze resin.

  • Cherish by Alan Williams – £30,000

    Cherish by Alan Williams – £30,000

    Cherish
    Unique sculpture

    Materials used –  Mechanical salvage, car clutches, garden shears, spanners, cutlery, motorbike wheel rim, sprockets & chain.. Tunic made from airplane turbine

    Sizes-  H 100cm, W 60cm, D 45cm
    35Kg

    This piece was inspired by the 19th century sculpture by Italian master Adriano Cesioni, titled ‘Enfant auCoq’ (Child with Cockerel). This reinterpretation defines the struggle and desperation to hold onto that which we want and love, and the opposing struggle and desperation to escape the situation imposed upon us. 

    Through the medium of scrap and salvaged metal, life, character and emotions are beautifully captured in a moment in time, that pays tribute to the masters of old as well as demonstrating the possibilities of this contemporary medium. Each metal component goes through an intense heating process in the forge. It is then hammered and shaped before being welded in place. What sets Alans work apart, is that almost all the welding and methods of construction are internally hidden within the sculpture. This element creates a huge challenge when creating his pieces, to an almost counter intuitive way of working, but it gives his artworks a fluid and visual richness that is refined and unique.

  • The Guide by Jeremy Moulsdale – £4,920

    The Guide by Jeremy Moulsdale – £4,920

    ‘The Guide’

    Iron resin
    edition of 20 
    Price £4,920 inc VAT
    Height 207cm 
    base 63cm x 53cm 
    weight  18.5kg
     
    For me, this sculpture is about vision. It’s about looking ahead and finding ways to move forward, listening to our intuition, our inner guide. Being in harmony with nature, working together with the natural world to find solutions that support us all. Is the bird the guide? Or is the man the guide? Or are they working together to find their way, creating a new path for themselves and for others to follow.

    Bronze edition of 8
    61cm high x 52cm x 13cm

    The Voyager is on his journey across the mysterious ocean of life.  While the ocean has many waves that can rock his boat, he is calm and focused.
    Although he is alone on his journey, he has a guide – the bird, who connects him to his natural instincts and spirit. The bird looks ahead and helps guide the way.
    He is held by his boat and trusts that the boat will carry him. 
    In his hand is a staff which he holds to feel supported. It  connects him to the support of all those who have helped help him make his great journey.’

  • The Young Minotaur by Ian Marlow – £4,800

    The Young Minotaur by Ian Marlow – £4,800

    Young Minotaur
    Ltd Ed. Bronze on stainless steel stand
    Ht: 87 cms

    The YOUNG MINOTAUR
    I wanted the sculpture to show a more human, compassionate side to the Minotaur. I wanted to
    get away from the mad, bad, insane monster condemned to the labyrinth.
    This is the Minotaur when he is young man, with all the confidence and pride of youth. He’s
    content with himself and the way he looks. He doesn’t care what other people think.

    Intercidere 2
    Stainless Steel
    Ht: 160 cms
    Retail Price £ 3,600.00 (inc VAT)

    The INTERCIDERE series
    The sculptures in this series all feature a ball held between 2 of 3 vertical shafts of stainless steel.
    Gravity demands it continue on a downward path but the stainless steel walls make that journey
    impossible. The prevent it sliding deeper. It can go no further. So it remains suspended between
    them. This creates a dichotomy between the gravitational force and the limitation of space. The
    ball is unable to slide to the base, but nor can it rise back up again.

  • Light Bearer – Night Sky Crescendo by Ian Marlow – £4,800

    Light Bearer – Night Sky Crescendo by Ian Marlow – £4,800

    Light-Bearer – Night Sky Crescendo
    Stainless steel and toughened glass
    Ht: 135 cms
    Retail Price £4,800 (inc VAT)

    The LIGHT-BEARER series.
    Each sculpture contains a panel of toughened and laminated glass set in textured stainless steel
    that radiates light.
    The stand is symbolic of the currents that move around the Earth, while its bowl-shaped form
    gives reference to the crucibles used by glass makers or foundries. This is where the molten
    metals are formed; the place from which they emerge. Its edges contain the colours whilst at the
    same time it holds them up, presenting them to the viewer.
    The glass panels vary in size and pattern, all with vibrant colours that merge, swirl, and rise; their
    patterns moving like molten lava or the aurora in the northern skies. They embody movement and
    transition that can be both graceful and shocking. This is life in its raw, primal state: fluid,
    diverging, forming and reforming. Yet is is also a reflection of the world as we know it today: a
    symbol of modern life with all of its fierce complexities and gentle nuances.
