Rich Bindon is a Wiltshire based metal working artist, creating sculptures and bespoke metal art under the name ‘Solo Metal Arts’.
Inspiration for his work comes from wildlife and science fiction, although he loves the challenge to create one off commissions for clients regardless of subject matter.
He is a self-taught artist, having first started making small items from metal at the age of ten while spending time at his dad’s engineering workshop.
On leaving school Rich continued with engineering himself, at sixteen he began a toolmaking apprenticeship at the Rover Group car company which he went on to complete in 1995.
A self proclaimed perfectionist, Rich strives to ensure every piece of art he creates has been constructed to the highest standard and his work must always exceed a client’s expectation.
Rich is currently working on introducing different media into his cutlery bird metal sculptures, this involves the use of woods and stained glass, he is really looking forward to combining these in his future projects.
