Canwood Gallery are delighted to be showcasing Brian Alabaster’s sculpture for sale.
Suffolk-based sculptor Brian Alabaster, a distinguished member of the Royal Society of British Sculptors, is renowned for his exceptional figurative sculptures, primarily crafted in bronze. His works, especially portraits of children and various natural objects, are meticulously modelled from life and held in both private and public collections, gaining popularity among discerning art collectors.
Alabaster draws inspiration from diverse sources such as the countryside, rock and fossil formations, and ancient ceramics. However, his profound appreciation for the human form has profoundly shaped his most celebrated creations. As a father of three, his early sculptures often featured his own children, and pieces like “Dickie and Sam” continue to captivate audiences with their gentle, engaging, and serene portrayal of natural moments.
This tranquility and beauty are hallmarks of Alabaster’s work, evident in his numerous commissions for private gardens, homes, and corporate spaces. A regular exhibitor at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show, and with shows in Cork Street, Europe, and North America, his sculptures are in high demand. Alabaster is dedicated to his craft, handling every stage from clay modelling to the final bronze casting himself, ensuring that his art will be cherished for generations. Brian Alabaster’s work also includes Hereford’s iconic bronze bull.
