Neil Lawson Baker

The majority of my professional life has been spent in the medical world as a qualified Dental Surgeon in Belgravia, London but I have been sculpting since 1987, after a very generous lesson from Dutch sculptor Kees Verkade. What happened after was a series of amazing life changing events! When I wasn’t with patients I worked endlessly at my sculptures and before long I was lucky enough to have some important commissions for leading corporations and goverments. I have been privileged to cast works in bronze with foundries such as Burleighfield, Morris Singer, Pangolin, Castle and Talos, as well as working closely with famous sculptural enlargers, or agrandisseurs as they are known in France [Robert and Olivier Haligon in Paris and Richard Clarke in England]. My greatest influences range from Picasso, Matisse and Moore through Ben Nicholson and Barbara Hepworth to Chirico, Cesar and of course Giacometti.

Studio visits to my gallery at home in West Sussex are very welcome, please enquire to book an appointment.
