Fascinate and insperate, the Chadwick experience

This week I have been extremely privileged to have visit the home of one of Britain’s greatest recognised sculptors and artist, Lynn Chadwick.

Lynn Chadwick studied at Merchant Taylor’s School and began his working life at an architect’s practice, during this time he independently developed mobile peaces of which derived from his experiences within exhibition design.

In 1956 Lynn Chadwick’s work won the International Prize for Sculpture in Venice, this contributed to his success and helped push his work further into the lime light and recognition of the modern art world.

Chadwick’s sculptures were mainly constructed from peaces of Iron welded together, he also used bronz and later in his career polished steel. Two of these later peaces of which will be on display at the Tate Britain’s Sculpture Court.

During my time at the home not only was I blessed and inspired by Chadwick’s work but I also had the pleasure to come into contact with a number of original Damien Hirst peaces of which were also on display amongst the Chadwick sculptures. This work included a huge Spot painting and an abstract spin painting.

Here is a few examples of the work that was on offer to fascinate and insperate…
