The use of metal and found objects in my sculpture is, I feel, a progression from the traditional and conventional manner in which artists have interpreted nature and animals. Parts for these welded sculptures shown here have been collected from various skips and industrial wastelands in and around London. The supply is endless and fruitful. From childhood plants, animal and insect life have intrigued me. Being brought up in the Green Belt of North London, I had plenty of opportunity to observe nature from nearby woods, streams, ponds and lakes. I am a member and a frequent visitor to London Zoo! I feel I have succeeded in amalgamating this fascination with nature into my creative work. My aim is to capture the essence and soul of the subject matter. To me, animals, birds and insects have a humour, vulnerability and simplicity that I transmute into sculptural form

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
