Unique Original Sculptures of Animals

Brian Hollingworth has been a professional ceramic sculptor for nearly 32 years. In such a long time his sculpture has changed and developed many times, but still a fascination with that flexible material ‘clay’ comes through all his work. He is as enthusiastic as ever about the wonderful qualities of clay, form, texture, colour and glazes. This makes his animal sculpture in both bronze and ceramic so distinctive. Bronze or ceramic sculptures are weatherproof and suitable for display in the home or garden.

A Lifetime Study of Wildlife

From a life spent sketching animals, Brian Hollingworth has an intimate knowledge of the movement of animals and a wealth of images to use in his sculpture designs. He has studied comparative anatomy and movement, so really understands what goes on under the skin of an animal. There may also subtle exaggeration in the sculpture, enabling him to capture the right feel and spirit of each animal he portrays in ceramic sculpture .

African Elephant

The Elephant is an original ceramic sculpture finished using smoked raku methods. It can also be commissioned as in bronze.

A Dynamic Study

The African Elephant in the sculpture is shown in movement, head alert and acutely aware of his surroundings. The positioning of the legs and the slightly angled head add to the dynamics of the sculptural form. A finely textured surface is enhanced by the smoked finish, which picks up the detail and adds to the tactile quality of the sculpture. Yet there is still a feel of the underlying anatomy of the skeleton and muscles of the elephant.

Work is fired twice once to 1000C glazes and stains are added and the sculpture has a final kiln firing on 1260 C. This makes every piece weather proof and frost proof.

The ceramic animal sculpture is suitable for home display; other unique animal statues are designed for the conservatory, garden or patio.
