About Dallas Collins
I gradated from the Royal College of Art in 2001 with a Masters Degree in sculpture and specialised knowledge of foundry art practice. My former career as an aircraft engineer has influenced my sculptural art practice for a number of years and my work has been featured in publications, exhibitions and major shows throughout the UK and abroad and I also have numerous works in private and public art collections. In 2007, I was fortunate to be short-listed for the Jerwood sculpture prize and in 2008 I was commissioned by Barratt Homes to produce a major new sculpture for their eco housing development near Bristol. In 2009 Dallas helped initiate an artist collective, this culminated in the group being short-listed in 2010 to represent Wales at the 54th Venice Biennale 2011. In 2017 I applied to become an Academician at the RWA in Bristol and in January 2018 I was successful in my application. In this year Dallas was also made a member of the Royal Society of Sculptors. www.dallascollins.com
