Object Description
A Wall-mounted Sculpture of Four Sandpipers, Carved, Painted and With Bound Copper Wire, Mounted on a Moulded Framed Panel, by Guy Taplin (B.1939)
The work of British sculptor Guy Taplin. ( born 1939 )
Taplin, who began his career as a birdkeeper at Regent’s Park before turning to sculpture, has long drawn on the wild landscapes of the Essex coast for inspiration. His birds are not literal representations but poetic distillations – forms pared down to their essence, full of character, wit and grace. Taplin’s practice blends the raw and the refined, the intuitive and the timeless.
Guy Taplin’s works are sought across the globe, and he has exhibited no less than 14 times at David Mussums fine art London.
