Artisan Sculptures Made in Yorkshire
James Oughtibridge creates bold and striking forms in black and white clay often on a dramatic scale. His inspiration comes from the stunning landscape surrounding Yorkshire Sculpture Park where his studio is based.
The surrounding landscape is characterised by river valleys, hills, fells, mountains, high edges and valleys. The contour of this scenery is ever present and always inspiring. When mist and fog descend, it transforms the curves and valleys of the land into a monochromatic palette, where texture is prominent. These natural elements of texture, beauty and form are conveyed with each unique sculpture he creates.
This particular shipment was sent via short sea ferry to a villa in Mallorca, with the end customer arranging their own unloading facilities on this occasion. The value of the sculptures was £36,000 in total. James has literally carved out a niche in artisan sculptures which are purchased by collectors from around the globe.
