Falynn wire sketch, 2022

In my wire work I use steel to draw in the air, using a sinuous curving line to animate my portraits and figurative sculptures. I strive for Amplification through Simplification, the concept that through distilling a portrait down to its essential characteristics I can draw out something that’s truly unique

Modern and contemporary art, street art, manga, comics, and more influence my practice - I’m influenced as much by Barry McGee as Matisse, by Parra as Picasso.

This portrait is hand bent in one sitting from a live model in one continuous piece of 16 gauge wire 

14”Wx16"Hx1.5"D 

Comes with CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY  

Best Regards, Duncan Sherwood-Forbes
