SOPHIE WHITE sculptor KLB
Sophie White is a professional Bristol sculptor exhibiting throughout the U.K in sculpture parks and galleries. Her life-size and smaller works capture fleeting moments of human interaction. Her work is cast in bronze and bronze-resin.
White followed her passion for creating sculpture after graduating with a language degree at Nottingham university and studied at the Elizabeth Frink School of Sculpture in Staffordshire followed by a post graduate course at The Cyprus College of Art.
The artist returned to the U.K in 2001 and set up studio at Spike Island in Bristol and later at Widcombe studios in Bath. She has had ten solo shows including at the Grant Bradley Galley in Bristol, Kingswood School in Bath, Brixton Art Gallery in London and Broomhill Sculpture Park in Devon.
‘My sculptures are observations of human action and interaction. I am interested in capturing a moment that I find perhaps poignant or subtly humorous. I am particularly fascinated by people engrossed in their own world, unaware of themselves and oblivious to the observer. Whilst my sculptures are initially inspired by the actions of specific people, the sculptures themselves are not about those individuals, but about aspects of our human nature, common to us all.’
