Damjan, Seed Series

Usually Nando works inspired by elements of the nature, but always with elements without a defined shape, like the water, the clouds, the fire, etc...

All these elements appear with an always changing form and he tries to represent this continuous metamorphosis on his works.

Jan‘s art is a unique synthesis between natural, organic forms and geometric abstraction.

He pursues the desire for the almost unattainable ideal, and that is the creation of beauty in its most pure form�.

Thomas is an international sculptor undertaking private, public and corporate commissions using an extensive range of materials.

Following his passion for sculpture that responds to aesthetics and mathematics within nature, Thomas has developed a distinctive style of contemporary and mainly abstract work. His creations are based on an ethos that the simplest forms are often the most beautiful.

From this idea, his belief grew that perfection within our environment has resulted from the simple and beautiful laws nature follows.

The ratio 1.681 known as PHI or the Fibonacci sequence, offers a mathematical principle seen widely within natural aesthetics which are frequently applied within Thomas’s designs.

By exploring such naturally occurring principles, he strives to create unique and inspirational objects.

More a performer than an artist, Yannick is passionate about raw materials and transforming material. Geometric abstractions, female busts and minimalist figures are all points of reference leading to the universe of this great technician.

A creator in the making even as a child Born in 1968, Yannick has always been creative.

Captivated by materials, he first trained as a boilermaker, a profession he held for many years before spontaneously deciding to become a sculptor in 2016. Transforming different materials like metal, wood and stone, and the different, sometimes complex works he had produced over the years led him to break into a new creative area.

Playing with fullness and voids Self-taught artist Yannick, works primarily with steel. Occasionally he combines it with colour which, he says, brings feelings to life. He lets his imagination guide him, taking inspiration from the buzz of living things and material’s absence of movement. He prefers to call himself a performer rather than an artist. He recognises that each living being has a unique way of channelling expression, and for him this is quite simply through knowledge of his trade. Whether provoking emotion or reflection, his pieces evolve irreversibly over time‌

When I left school I travelled around Europe then the US, Canada, New Zealand, and India. In Australia, I got a job at a steel works factory. The highly skilled, self-assured character of the men who worked there and the strong sense of camaraderie really appealed to me. I loved the heat and the clatter of the place. This was the first time I learnt how to form steel, I took this experience back to the UK and went to an art school that specialised in blacksmithing.

This was followed by an apprenticeship, and then I opened my own forge in London, which gave me the time to develop my art practice alongside the commissioned work I was producing for clients at the time. Travel remains an important source for my work, and if I can’t get away, there are so many great museums in London. A new series usually starts this way.

Recently, a visit to Iceland led to a series of sculptures inspired by the coastal communities and the fishing boats in the harbours around the country. The initial idea became an abstract memory. Sculpture has its own language, and I aim to tell a story like a poem or a song but without word. This is how I want to reach the viewer.

Working in bronze, copper, steel and stainless steel - Philip designs and creates unique and bespoke sculpture, furniture and artworks for home, garden and public or business environments. He designs, fabricates and installs public art pieces and runs workshops in schools and with community groups.

Philip creates an eclectic range of sculpture and contemporary furniture. Highly aesthetic in nature, you will find much of his work curvaceous and tactile, but with a coarseness that is lent from working with bare steel or stainless steel. His style ranges from figurative to abstract and is always in context with its environment.

Series of large and small ceramic sculptures – intricate, seemingly delicate, yet robust – initially began while Adele was a resident artist at Naturalia in Sevilla in 2012 (part of Beam's Orange and Green programme – Arts Across Borders). Here, she researched pollen grains at Cordorba University and developed a new understanding of a living landscape. Coupled with her re-discovery of pottery skills whilst researching the Mexborough and Dearne Valley Potteries later in South Yorkshire, this amalgamation influenced a new way of working in ceramics and pushing clay material to its’ technological boundaries. Ceramic Landscape links nature with imagination and abstraction in landscape formations, particularly influenced by the wild flowers of East Yorkshire.

Adele’s work has long been associated with innovation in the public realm, and has a long history of experimentation with ceramic form, artwork which has been exhibited across Europe including, the Steninge Slott Cultural Centre Sweden, VI Biennal de Ceramica del Vendrell Barcelona Spain, Ceramica Multiplex at Kerameikon Croatia, and various RHS Gardens including Chelsea Flower Show. Adele began her career working in the public realm with roles as lead artist working in design teams for new public spaces.

She has designed and produced architectural ceramics for hospitals, school playgrounds, churches, and, designed healing art schemes that have been incorporated into the fabric of new buildings during the architectural design process.

Adele’s work explores patterns and cell forms in nature.

With a background in architecture, interior and furniture design Philip is a self-taught sculptor and specialises in sand casting to make pieces which engage the quality of bronze as a noble material in its own right.

Sculptures are intimate in scale and intended for the interiors of home, office or hotel.

Casting in sand moulds is a simple and ancient method far removed from the sophisticated lost wax operation used by most art foundries. The sand-casting process is relentless and unforgiving - the foundry is no place for a delicate original. It denies a complexity of form that imposes a disciplinary and enriching simplicity.

He cuts, carves, grinds or welds the cast bronze to create unique forms before invariably exposing the natural bronze or oxidising to produce the unique surface finishes that have always been an essential dimension of his work.

Joseph is a sculptor working in cast glass. He graduated with an MA in Ceramics and Glass from the Royal College of Art in 2006, and won a Crafts Council Development Award in 2007. Joseph has exhibited both nationally and internationally. In 2010 he was selected for the Jerwood Contemporary makers exhibition in Edinburgh and London, as well as the 2012 International Festival of Glass Biennale where he won the Craft & Design award.

And in 2013 had a solo exhibition ‘Landscape Portraits' at Bullseye gallery, Portland USA and has recently exhibited at Design Miami/Basel 2016 with the Crafts Council and The New Craftsman Gallery.

I interpret landscapes through exploration of material. I focus on rugged coastlines, looking at erosion as a spectacle of discovery and generation of form, revealing a sense of the history and movement of a place.

The work is produced using my ‘Lost Ice Process.’ I use salt to sculpt ice as a one-off ephemeral model to take a direct cast from.

The textures this provides and the transient nature of the creative process reflects the erosion and sense of time I want to represent in the landscape. There is a roughness from the initial cast that is ground polished and refined to its final finish, revealing the internal structures of the glass and creating facets and flat planes to redefine the essence of the made against the organic surface.’

Gonzalo is a self-taught artist who began his career as a sculptor in the early nineties. Initially experimenting with figurative sculpture linked to decorative arts, but then acquiring his maturity with a radical evolution towards abstract conceptualism.

Gonzalo sees art as a way to release human concerns. His sculpture refuses a scientific conception of geometry for the sake of an idealistic abstraction closely linked to architecture, mathematics and scientific thinking. The development of abstraction and the use of geometry in his work are closely linked to a rational process based on the discovery of new shapes. This constant search that guides his work translates into a demonstration of endless variations in geometric shapes.

Gonzalo sculptures refer to spaces inhabited by humans, sometimes invoking buildings, human or organic shapes or landscapes. He creates his sculptures guiding his artistic intuition through his memories. His shapes give us an insight view into his own experiences.

” Beauty to me is simplicity, clarity, concentration and must extend beyond decorative prettiness. Beauty is to be able to hold contradictions, tensions and ambivalence – it is a balance kept despite conflict.

I am fascinated by ”strong form”. With both figurative and abstract sculptures, I search for a sense of fullness contrasted with negative shapes; sharp angles between surfaces, juxtaposed with smoothness.”

Some of her ideas for sculptures derive from her other career as an arts educator and therapist, which makes her very aware of the psychological and expressive potential of sculptures: “I am influenced by C.G. Jungʼs ideas of archetypes and equally by childhood memories of Sunday visits to a catholic church filled with Baroque carvings . I reconnect with the tradition of sculptures seen in places of worship, and work towards a spiritually potent image used in a secular context.

German artist John's conceptual work is an attempt to discern governing principles of the universe - art as a way of enquiring about the world.

Artistic investigation, as a way of inquiring about the world, keeps asking the same perennial questions about origin of matter as science and religion.

It bridges scientific and spiritual dimensions by conveying a message which is both: universal and deeply personal. His art transcends the dualism of objective and subjective, matter and spirit. It goes beyond the established framework of human knowledge and beliefs towards the state of ubiquitous oneness.

He believes that every form of existence, from a thought, a feeling, matter to space and time is one and the same energy governed by the same principle and being a part of the Singular Universe. Dualism exists only as our perception and it is through their singularity that we can access the truth.

From Goldsmith of 16 years to designer of precision laser-cut wall panels; Sarah has transferred and developed her metalworking skills from miniature to large-scale.

A Jewellery & Silversmithing graduate of The Cass, she has based her collections on the themes of repetition, geometry and how the tiniest, most insignificant parts can create complex and strong, balanced forms. Plant cells, microbiology and geometry all play a part in the development and design of her work, and her pieces are executed with precision, skill and attention to detail. Her jewellery collections have been exhibited in galleries in the US, Japan and across Europe. She now creates unique, bespoke fine jewellery and is expert in redesigning and remodelling unworn heirlooms.

A commission in 2014 from renowned corporate art curator, Tom Tempest-Radford, saw Sarah's work transformed to an altogether new level, and brought her work into the realm of largescale decorative architectural metalwork and installations. She utilises the skills of local engineering companies in combination with her own metalworking experiences and craftsmanship to create her new, vibrant collections of decorative panels, room partitions and lighting installations.

Sarah has a long history of working closely with clients to create bespoke, considered and perfectly executed works.
