Tanya Russell is a contemporary British sculptor known for her distinctive figurative and animal sculptures, characterised by their expressive form and tactile surface. Based in Wales, her work reflects a deep understanding of character and movement, bringing a sense of life and personality to each piece. Working primarily in clay and casting in a wide variety of materials, Russell creates sculptures that combine strength with a playful and engaging quality. Her work often captures the essence of her subjects with economy of form, resulting in pieces that are both immediate and enduring. Her work has been widely exhibited and is held in private and public collections. At The Lion Street Gallery, we are pleased to present Tanya Russell as part of our programme supporting contemporary artists from Wales and the Borders. Russell’s sculptures are increasingly sought after by collectors of contemporary British art, particularly those interested in modern figurative and animal sculpture with a distinctive and recognisable style.

‘BREAKING THE SURFACE’ KINGFISHER DIVING SCULPTURE

Breaking the Surface was sculpted for a vicarage in East Anglia, to stand in the water amongst reeds in a swimming pond. I have been experimenting with different uses of circles, whose shape represents a part of the ‘one world’ environmental/animal welfare messages I am exploring in my artwork. Circles are also innately beautiful. I wanted to get the sense of that incredible moment where the Kingfisher moves in a flash from the air to the water and I loved modelling the splash interrupting it, and bubbles trailing from the Diving Kingfisher’s wings.

This bronze Diving Kingfisher statue bears Tanya’s signature and unique edition number. Your casting of the Kingfisher sculpture will be personally approved and will be accompanied by a certificate of authenticity.

10% of the proceeds from this bronze wildlife sculpture support the ‘David Shepherd Wildlife Trust’ animal charity.
