The Bug Sculpture

Brought up in North London recognised as one of Britain’s foremost avant-garde sculptors. Lawrie Simonson spent his childhood observing the local insect and animal life which still inspire his work. Lawrie’s quirky pieces are created from objet trouvé discovered on regular trips to automotive scrap yards and flea markets, combined with kitchen objects that catch his eye. His humorous pieces are based on serious observations of nature and range in size from a 3 metre water bird to a tiny chrome spider. Lawrie’s many corporate and public commissions include Hampton Court Palace and Hainault Forest Country Park, Capel Manor Enfield and the Oxo Tower. Lawrie has exhibited in galleries all over Europe and the UK. His work is held in private collections in the USA, Europe & Middle East
