Rob Leighton
I create both figurative sculpture (from life) as well as more abstract sculptures. The abstract work can be a response to an idea, memories and reminiscence of natural and man-made forms, or simply forms found within the irregular block being carved at the time. In the latter case, the forms are often arrived at intuitively, crystallising as the work progresses.
​​
I use a range of media: Figurative work is usually modelled in clay. whilst more abstract sculptures are most often carved prior to being coated in polyurea and or Jesmonite or moulded for reproduction. Works are patinated in a variety of finishes in order to enhance the forms. 
 
All sculptures are created in the traditional manner of modelling or carving but I also employ modern technology which allows for any sculpture to be replicated to any size and in a variety of materials. The choice of technology is extensive, including  3D Printing, laser scanning and CNC production, as are material possibilities including extruded high density polystyrene, water based resins, polyuria and foundry cast metal. Each will have implications as to the eventual price of a piece of sculpture.
