Carving

The Art of Ian Norbury: Sculptures in Wood

Ian Norbury
Sculptors and wood carvers will be interested in this gallery presentation of the work of Ian Norbury, a world-reknowned sculptor. Norbury's pieces incorporate various materials including mixed timber, colored wood, metals, stones, shells, and gems.

His art, which is inspired by masters such as Salvador Dalí, René Magritte, and Mexican surrealist Remedios Varro, is beautifully photographed here. The repetition of human errors is a theme Norbury explores, drawing on European cultural history and inspired by subjects as diverse as African folklore, literature, and mythology. Recommended.
