Philip Melling
Philip Melling Working predominantly in metals, I create an eclectic range of sculpture and contemporary furniture. My style ranges from figurative to abstract, often curvaceous and tactile, but with a coarseness that is lent from working with bare steel. The current collection ‘Elements’ focuses on Earth, Air, Water and Fire, and describes the reaction of when those elements meet. Developing the collection I concentrated on the proccess of using repetitive form of material - flat steel bar, to generate concepts and capture the movement of elemental reactions. The forms are designed appropriately for indoor display, but are perfectly suited to larger scale and outside installations for private or public spaces. As well as the sculptures I sell into private collections, I make larger scale artworks, usually for the Public realm.
