DAVID BEGBIE
Since 1982 David Begbie has worked almost exclusively with the human form, primarily sculpting in steel mesh but also producing monoprints, etchings, ink and charcoal drawings mixed-media work and photographs. But it is for his distinctive steel mesh bodies that Begbie is most renowned.
'The preoccupation with the human form as his subject stems from an early age, the fascination for reproducing figurative bodies in steel mesh has extensively dominated over the last twenty years. Looking back at his work, there is an element of crudity as he fashioned the flat steel grid into three dimensional form. Recently Begbie has achieved the fine sculpting detail of musculature and human form which has already been compared to that of Michelangelo and Rodin'.
David Begbie has exhibited extensively throughout the world over the last 35 years.
