Inspiration

The inspiration for Michael Talbot's work is the dramatic poetry of the human form. 

“Sculpture for me is an attempt to show and illuminate a chosen moment in time. I like to give my sculptures choreography of form, tension and balance, to lead the eye and capture a moment in time”- Michael Talbot

This poetic, almost romantic approach together with his exquisite skills renders his pure bronze sculptures individual, intricate and beautiful.

Art Style

Talbot’s latest works feature a pair of elegant hands coming together to form a series of subtle messages of love. For each piece he creates an original clay sculpture which he then casts into bronze using the ancient, yet timeless, lost wax method. He retains complete control over every step of the process, and in the final stage he refines and enhances each piece with a unique patina.

Achievements

Talbot was born in Staffordshire in 1963. After completing a BA honours degree in Sculpture, he was awarded a scholarship to the Royal Academy of Arts in London for post graduate study in 1980, winning the coveted Landseer prize in 1983. He studied further at The Sir Henry Doulton Sculpture School under Colin Melbourne ARCA and Dame Elizabeth Frink RA. He was elected a member of the Royal Society of British Sculptors in 1997 and of the National Sculpture Society (USA) in 2012.
