Biographical Information
David Begbie ~ [b.1955] Scottish/British
Since his graduation in 1982 David Begbie has worked almost exclusively with the human form, although has often produced abstract composition alongside the figurative sculpture. Primarily sculpting in steel and bronze mesh he also produces mono-prints, etchings, ink and charcoal drawings, mixed-media work and photographs, but it is for his distinctive wire-mesh sculpture that Begbie is most renowned.
The preoccupation with the human form as his subject has often been compared to Michelangelo and in particular to Rodin, as his subject is often that of the partial or truncated figure.
