Steven Page is a British sculptor living and working in rural Wales.
Known for his compelling animal sculptures, Page's work explores the elegance and strength of the creatures that roam our planet. His signature approach fuses the time-honoured 'lost wax' technique with a contemporary mastery of patina, resulting in visually striking sculptures."My work has been about perfecting animal forms and trying to create in each piece a 'universal form'."
Page is inspired by the ancient philosopher Plato's 'Theory of Forms', which suggest that there are ideal, perfect versions of everything in the world. These perfect forms also exist in a separate realm of reality that exist beyond our physical world, Page strives towards this perfect ideal or 'universal form' in his work.

Simplicity in Form
An example of Page's mastery of line and formThere is a stillness and solidity to Page's sculptures which employ subtle curves, rounded edges and sweeping lines to create a gentle movement and grace.The sculptures aim to capture the essence of the creature; excess information is stripped away and the shapes are honed down and simplified creating a pure smooth skin in order to observe the form with the utmost clarity. This simplicity gives the work a timelessness and permanence. -

Inspiration from Paleontology
-
Page's work draws inspiration from a variety of sources such as cave art and museum artefacts, as well as more contemporary references.
"The shape and form may often reference art from ancient history but with a modern contemporary finish" - S. Page
The aim is to show the ancient heritage of these animals and our historic relationship with them whilst also creating something that looks at home in our modern world.
