Robin is a full time, self-taught sculptor. He works in mixed media, each sculpture being unique and hand built with no casting involved. He predominantly uses a metal modified epoxy clay with a diverse variety of materials including: metal fillers, variegated silver and gold leaf and native hardwoods.
Much of Robin’s inspiration is attributed to a connection and respect with the rural environment.
His subject matter reveals his love of nature and features birds, animals, flora and fauna, all in a quirky style. He places emphasis on movement – expression – postures and mannerisms, and uses dynamic surface finishes to add to the distinctive style.
A dynamic, individually built Gull by sculptor, Robin Fox.
The is gull is built from mixed media, using epoxy resin with a textured verdigris and a burnished bronze finish.
The gull has been built up in layers over a steel armature. It is standing on a epoxy covered cement round which is then set onto an oak disc. The whelk it holds in it’s beak has been gilded in 24.75 gold leaf.
Makers mark is on the underside of the gull.
