NIGEL KONSTAM

Nigel Konstam is a sculptor whose work is firmly based in the European tradition. He studied sculpture, drawing and painting at Camberwell School of Art (1956-8) and has worked as a sculptor and teacher ever since. He is happy to receive commissions for sculpture in stone or in bronze.

Many solo shows of his work have been mounted - in London, Madrid, Barcelona, Salamanca, Pisa and Florence. He has done portrait busts of King Juan-Carlos and Queen Sofia as well as many well known musicians.

His book SCULPTURE, THE ART AND THE PRACTICE (Collins '84) was praised by the critics for its 'lively, knowledgeable and stimulating discussion on the nature of art and the way an artist's mind works ...marvellous chapters which deal in depth with imagination and creativity, structure and composition.' 'A most remarkable handbook.' (now available in paperback ISBN 0 9523568 0.5) The latest edition of Konstam's book is now available.

His art historical research, particularly into painters' use of mirrors is well known. These studies have led him to a new way of understanding visual imagination and therefore new methods of extending its range and power. The models that have formed the basis of his discoveries are on show at The Verrocchio Museum of Artists' Secret Knowledge and are viewable by appointment.

Nigel Konstam's foundry discoveries were published in The Oxford Journal of Archaeology in May 2002. A second Article was published in the Oxford Journal of Archaeology in the November 2004 issue on 'Life Casting in Ancient Greece'.

He has published in Apollo, The Burlington, The Artist, Leonardo, Rembrandthuiskroniek and The Oxford Journal of Archaeology.
