Gladwell & Patterson are delighted to present Serenity by contemporary sculptor Simon Gudgeon. Inspired by the Egyptian goddess of nature, the original sculpture was unveiled in 2009 and now stands beside the Serpentine, near the Diana Memorial Fountain.
One of Britain's 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 London's Hyde Park, and Search for Enlightenment installed on the banks of the Thames.
