British sculptor Christopher Townsend works mainly with mild steel, stainless steel, found metal objects, stone and wood. Now living and working in rural Oxfordshire, he graduated from Liverpool University in 1996 with a first class combined honours degree in Fine Art and Psychology.
Christopher Townsend’s current work is concerned with challenging sculptural space, through the creation of wall-, ceiling- or floor-based pieces. Throughout his work there is a base awareness and interest in line, form and balance. The environment around his studio influences his work with strong links to the land and landscape, and there is also an influence of the sea and things watery born of visits to Devon and Cornwall - and perhaps a desire to live by the sea. Christopher Townsend’s work is exhibited in galleries and at shows throughout the country, and is held in private collections around the world. He has recently become more involved in public art projects and has carried out a number of practical inset days in schools, working with children from years 4 to 8. He accepts commissions – please contact Broadway Modern for details. |
