Ian Edwards
British artist Ian Edwards’s dynamic bronze sculptures, which are typically rooted in the wonders of the natural world, capture the essence of movement. Inspired by masters like Rodin and Michelangelo, Edwards combines modern and classical techniques for figurative, nude and abstract sculptures that are representative of the artist’s distinctive and recognizable style.
Edwards has been working with his hands since he was 16. A five-year apprenticeship with the cabinetmakers at G&H Studios focused on animal woodcarving. As soon as he entered the facility’s woodcarving shop, Edwards knew he was meant to be there.
The artist developed a passion for exploring form and movement in animals and humans alike throughout his training. In his early 20s, Edwards set up his own studio. He focused mainly on wildlife and figurative sculptures, creating pieces that were inspired by walks through nature near his Somerset home.
Edwards continued to draw inspiration from nature as his style grew and progressed towards the powerful masculine forms for which he is known today. The textural sculptures reflect the landscape around him, and his figures’ sense of motion, which conveys themes of strength and self-discovery, also reference the sculptor’s own struggles with dyslexia.
Edwards's sculptures are popular among private collectors in England and throughout Europe and America. He has exhibited at Red Rag Gallery and other galleries all over the United Kingdom.

- Pollès - Bronze Sculpture - ChrysolitheLocated in Collonge Bellerive, Geneve, CHPollès - Bronze Sculpture - Chrysolithe Bronze 3/4 Created in 2012, casted in 2013 22 x 10 x 13 cm Signed and Numbered BIOGRAPHY Pollès was born in Paris in 1945 Like Leonard de Vinci in an anatomical search of perfection, of representation of movement,with an almost scientifical or medical glance, Pollès holds the utmost passion of anatomy: he learns about the human body, the complicated hank of muscles, movements of members and all the bodily mechanics. That’s why in 1964 he starts medicine school and along side goes to the Charpentier Academy where he follows art lessons. In 1966, he encountered sculpture in London where he was invited by his friend Enzo Plazota. This final step teaching him all the bases of sculpture. Pollès then decides to go to live in Italy, in Carrare, an important art place. He moved in 1970 and settled in Pietrasanta where he still lives. His sculptures, by creating a vision of the moving being, polished and smoothed, break the pureness of aestheticism. He just knows one theme, one model: the female form. According to Pollès, this is the most beautiful one, the most harmonious one. “When we are looking at a feminine body, it is splendid, it is musical”. His love of women, the sensuality, the complexity, the shapes and passions, brought him to explore the female form. Since the beginning he has created a singularly stylized cubist form; this becoming his signature form. All are cast in bronze by Pollès himself and made in a series of four with one artist's proof. His masterliness of the patina is considered unparalleled. The world's recognition of his craft is evidenced by the many awards he has won, the unique places he has shown and the prestigious private collections he is in, including that of Princess Caroline of Monaco. Pollès was recently honored in an exhibition outside Paris, sponsored by the French Government, called “Sculptors From Rodin to The Present”. He was one of the few living sculptors to be so honored; the others include Abakanowicz, Arman, Saint-Phalle & Wesselmann. Maurice Rheims, a respected Art Critic, and a member of The French Academy, has said “I consider Pollès to be one of the outstanding sculptors of our time.” His show in the Bagatelle Gardens in Paris in 1998 was a major honor as he was one of only two artists who have ever been allowed to present their work in the Bagatelle. The other artist is Henry Moore.
