Jeff Childs
Jeff Childs is an established English sculptor whose representational style focuses primarily upon the female form.
Jeff works directly from a combination of life studies and detailed photography. From this the three dimensional form emerges.
Working alongside his models, Jeff encourages them to bring their unique perspective and creative input to the work. This contributes to the shaping of both the pose and the sculpture's enduring character, so that the model has a much more active role than the popular notion of the passive and detached female presence in the studio. This involvement helps to enhance the natural sensuality of the finished piece.
Every stage of the process is handcrafted, from the original sculpture, built upon a handmade metal armature, to the mould making, casting and final patination. This creative endeavour ensures that every piece acquires its own individual characteristics, becoming a truly unique creation within its own select limited edition.
