sculpture sets out to shock.

Derek Kinzett's work is

intriguing and unpretentious."

Artist's Statement  

I started experimenting with wire as a medium to produce figurative sculptures in the late 1980's whilst studying Art & Design at Wiltshire College, England.

I was interested in the effect natural light and shadow had on the surface of the material and after further experimentation with sculpting the human body as a hollow form, I found that by allowing natural light to travel through the sculpture, I could  accentuate facial features, hair and muscle tone, which in turn produced an ethereal and spiritual visual impact to each finished piece.

In 2007 I launched  "The Inner Spirit Collection" of life size wire sculptures and  I continue  to enjoy adding new designs and creative collaborations to the collection.

 

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for visiting my website, and I hope that after viewing my portfolio you find something that inspires you. 

 

Kindest Regards
