Stephen Glassborow

Biography

Stephen Glassborow Design Process: Through the action of construction and deconstruction he transposes the reality of a piece, creating an object rather than a subject. By either slicing or cutting up the figure and adding bold colours to what is usually a dark medium, Stephen Glassborow objectifies the sculpture and creates his own unique, contemporary look. “I have always had this approach to my sculpture. Because the figure has been used for thousands of years, I knew I had to find my own take on it.” – Stephen Glassborow.

Stephen Glassborow was Born in, Hammersmith England

Stephen Glassborow specialises in making Sculptures in Bronze. He uses the figure like a coat  hanger, onto which he displays his ideas. In each sculpture he likes to manipulate and capture the  figure in a blend of real and abstract.

Glassborow’s career has developed to a point where he now sells his work in many countries. Stephen Glassborow exhibits regularly in the States and the UK, and he has public works in Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur,  Singapore, Hong Kong, Shanghai and Seoul.

In Australia, Glassborow has had many exhibitions with public sculptures featuring in Canberra,  Sydney, Melbourne and regional Victoria.
