About The Artwork
I have a love of birds and animals, I strive to give life and character to all my unique, figurative depictions, which are predominately made from re-used metal objects and new stainless steel. The sight of Atlantic wild Salmon heading up rivers, negotiating weirs and waterfalls was the inspiration for this piece. I named it 'Leap of Faith' to express the seemingly uncertain result of the thrusting jump from the chaotic waters below a falls and up the cascade to reach the calmer water above and on to the spawning grounds, often only to be thrown back down into the maelstrom for repeated attempts. I had drawn a sketch for this piece in May 2016, having found it again recently I decided it was high time to make it. Creating water from stainless steel was a fun challenge. Entirely made from Marine grade stainless steel cold forged and hand worked.

Ireland
A British artist living in West Cork, Ireland. Self taught in a multitude of disciplines, Nigel Connell Bass is well known for his sculpture work in new and recycled metals, predominantly life-size depictions of birds and animals. He worked for 10 years, as a scenic artist for a busy Theatre production company, before moving with a young family to Ireland in 1996. Bringing up a young family after the move to Ireland, and completing a self-build house, meant that for a few years, art took a backseat role as he worked mainly painting, decorating and sign-writing to make a regular living wage. In 2015 Nigel returned to art full-time. He is enjoying success regularly exhibiting his sculpture work at prestigious venues throughout Ireland and continues to explore new concepts in sculpture and also painting in acrylics onto rusted metal sheets.
