SPECIAL FEATURE of Col Henrys' Sculpture Service - Technical and Artistic advice given freely by email.
Sculpting - Col Henry has been accredited with many ground breaking techniques and mediums including, Stainless steel, bronze, resins and more. Sculpture has been his life long passion, creating unique and interesting works of art, teaching in his studio, and designing and installing many sculptures in private and public areas. His philosophy requires the artist to imagine the concept, find ways to design and conceive, develop and improve and finally to actually make and install the works. One of his latest styles, the "Gossamer Series", involves physically sketching in space, which is innovative and explores figurative sculpture, where the spacial relationships take on a greater importance than the positive surfaces of the works. He is recognised as an innovator, not an imitator, and his unique work has developed over 40 years of dedication to his art.

'Gossamer Sculptures'
Recent winning sculptures. The material is a product and technique has been developed by the artist over the last few years. "COLCAST AND PURE GLASS" is strong, flexible, lightweight and designed for outdoor installation. It produces ethereal and enigmatic figurative sculpture, where the spacial relationships take on a greater importance than the positive surfaces of the works.
The illusion and allusion is made stronger through the narrative of ambiguity and the viewer should negotiate their own meaning of the intriguing elements.
'Stainless Steel Sculptures'
Sculpture designed for outdoor installation where strength and longevity are required. The combination of steel with its organic and natural surfaces, and the simplicity and resilliance of stainless steel are combined in an exciting and elegant juxtaposition. Works include some Public Sculptures that are over 4 meters tall.
