SIMON GUDGEON | Reflection
66 x 33 x 21 cms
Bronze 3/12
Simon Gudgeon captures the fluidity of form and a sense of serenity in his bronze sculpture, Reflection.
Gudgeon says of his work: Most sculptures don’t start out as a conscious thought, with all the aspects of form and meaning carefully considered. What happens is that an idea enters my head – be it a shape, a movement or an emotion – and I simply want to convey it. I must convey it! Ideas come from a combination of observations, thoughts, beliefs and the profound experiences of one’s life.
One of Britains leading contemporary sculptors, Simon Gudgeon has a signature smooth style that marvellously concentrates spirit and nature. His minimalist, semi-abstract forms depict both movement and the emotion of a moment, captured with a visual harmony that is unmistakably his own. Making an object that is not essentially utilitarian defines humanity; it is the concept of beauty. A sculpture, on a superficial level must encapsulate beauty; it must uplift the spirit and enhance its surroundings. But on a deeper level it should resonate with the viewer and have a subconscious appeal to their emotions, whether those emotions are the same as the artist intended is not important, what is important is that the viewer connects with the art. Simon is best known for his monumental sculpture Serenity installed in Londons Hyde Park, and Search for Enlightenment installed on the banks of the Thames.
