Lucy Kinsella
Sentinel
Bronze £8,000
Bronze casting by the lost wax method dates back thousands of years. A wax sculpture is coated in a ceramic coating which replicates all the detail of the original. The wax is burned away leaving a mould into which molten bronze is poured. Once cooled, the shell is smashed and the casting cleaned and coloured (patinated) with chemicals before being polished. The mould can be used to produce an edition.
Master Monarch
Bronze £5,000
Through her skilled and spontaneous modelling of surfaces, Lucy Kinsella captures the movement and energy of her subjects.
Born in Hampshire, Lucy Kinsella moved to Leicestershire where she gained a BA Hon's in sculpture at Loughborough University. She was awarded the Dante Alighieri Travelling Scholarship which took her to Florence, and the Dennis Holt Travelling Bursary spent in southern Ireland.
After graduating, Lucy determined to develop her skills as an animal sculptor, drawing inspiration from Barye, Degas and Bugatti, and the contemporary work of Jonathan Kenworthy. Lucy's trademark lies in the expressive handling and fine detailing that captures the movement and energy of her chosen subject.
Lucy's work is held in many private and public collections both in the UK and around the world, Including France, Belgium, Sweden, Ireland, United States, South Africa, China, Japan and United Arab Emirates.
