Lynn Chadwick was an English sculptor who produced large-scale, somewhat abstract works in bronze and steel. He was known for his improvisational technique of welding metal without sketches or plans, designing as he manipulated his material.Born in Barnes in London in 1914, Chadwick studied architecture at the Merchant Taylors’ School. He worked as a draughtsman in architecture firms, taking particular interest in the work of Rodney Thomas. After serving as a pilot escorting Atlantic convoys during World War II, he returned to London with a newfound sense of artistic fervor, and began experimenting with small sculptures and mobiles of lightweight materials such as wire, balsa wood and light brass abstract objects. His first major exhibition of mobiles at the Gimpel Fils gallery launched his career and brought critical attention to his work. In early 1951, the Arts Council of Britain commissioned him to produce a large-scale sculpture for the Festival of Britain; The Fisheater was exhibited at the Tate Gallery through 1952. He represented Britain at the 1956 Venice Biennale where he became the youngest recipient of the International Sculpture Prize. Over time as his scale grew, he expanded his subject matter and experimented with increasingly abstract – though at times clearly biomorphic – forms. Chadwick began receiving impressive accolades early in his career; in 1964 he was a named Commander of the Order of the British Empire, and a French Officier de l’Ordre des Arts et des Lettres in 1985. In 2001 he was elected a Royal Academician in the United Kingdom. His works are featured in major museums around the world including the Philadelphia Museum of Art; the Musée Rodin, Paris; the Art Institute of Chicago; the Royal Academy of Arts, London; and many other institutions. Tate Britain debuted a major retrospective of his work in 2003, the year of his death. His works continue to sell for ever-higher prices.

Lynn Chadwick (British, born November 24, 1914–died April 25, 2003) found international recognition when he became the youngest person ever to win the Venice Biennale’s prized sculptor award. His career spanned over 50 years, but he did not always plan on being an artist. He was born in London, and studied at the Merchant Taylor School in France. After moving back to England, he worked for several architects in London during the 1930s. Working as an architectural draughtsman helped Chadwick to hone his drawing and compositional skills. After serving in the British army during World War II, Chadwick returned to the architectural business, this time working with famed architect, Rodney Thomas.
