Oliver Strong
Sculpture
Oliver Strong creates handwrought metal sculptures of wildlife, people and contemporary forms using bronze, steel or stainless steel.
"There is no casting involved in my art. The metal is hand formed. I enjoy the challenge of heating and shaping a flat piece of bronze into a form of beauty - each piece unique.
Oliver has an affinity with the sea which has influenced his choice of subject, as well as the wildlife encounters experienced during his growing years in Southern Africa.
"If I can capture in my art some of the grace and vitality of my subject, then I have succeeded"
A professional artist/craftsman since 1994, Oliver has sold sculptures to public institutions and private collections internationally.
Prices range from £250 - £18,000.
Commissions welcome.
