Overview

This gallery of carvings features the work of Ian Norbury, one of the world's leading sculptors, whose innovative style incorporates materials including mixed timber, coloured wood, metals, stones, shells, and gems. Photographs richly illustrate his art, which is inspired by masters such as Salvador Dal-, Ren Magritte, and Mexican surrealist Remedios Varro. The repetition of human errors is a theme explored in Norbury's sculptures, which are steeped in European cultural history yet are inspired by subjects as diverse as African folklore, literature, and mythology. This book will appeal both to woodcarvers and to anyone interested in fine arts sculpture.
