About the Item
British sculptor Anthony Theakston (1965), who draws his inspiration from the shape and movement of birds, simplifies the birds and omits more and more details until only the essence of the animal remains. The stylized birds are reduced to a contrast between curves and angular shapes. The result is a sleek and expressive shape that beautifully reflects the bird's character.
It is of great importance to Anthony Theakston that his work is ultimately beautiful, to see and to touch. It’s not just about the bird, it’s about its character. Despite the fact that the ''Serenity'' has an edition of 12, every piece has a different patina which makes each sculpture unique.
In ''Serenity'', Anthony Theakston reveals his distinctive ability to unite form and feeling with quiet strength. The sculpture exudes a profound sense of calm, its refined, almost abstract shape inviting a moment of contemplation.
The warm brown patina enhances the organic presence of the piece, lending a soft, natural tone to the bronze surface. Though minimal in detail, the work speaks volumes — poised, restrained, yet deeply expressive.
''Serenity'' exemplifies Theakston’s sculptural language: simplicity of form paired with emotional clarity. It gently invites the viewer to pause — not only before the work itself, but within their own stillness.
Anthony Theakston's work is widely acclaimed and collected in his home country, the UK, and is increasingly in demand worldwide. The British Council, the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford and the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge, among others, own his work. His work is recognized by many as the antiques of the future.
