Grin and Bear, 2014, Laurence Edwards
Bronze, 25cm x 20cm x 22cm
Provenance: Messums Gallery, London
Laurence Edwards studied bronze casting and sculpture under Sir Antony Caro at the Royal College of Art, before studying traditional casting techniques in India and Nepal on an Inch Travelling Scholarship. He combined these two experiences to influence his own studio’s form and technique. One of the few sculptors who casts his own work, Edwards’ works blur the forms of man and nature together. Working in bronze, an alloy that physically and metaphorically illustrates entropy, the natural tendency of any system in time to tend towards disorder and chaos (1).
