Artist Statement
Paul Mason (23 June 1952 – 9 May 2006) was a British sculptor and artist working mainly in stone and marble.[1] Winner of the Royal Academy Gold Medal in 1976, his work has been exhibited in the United Kingdom and Europe, including the Tate Gallery, St Ives and the Bauhaus Kunst-Archiv in Berlin.
With several major works on permanent public display in Nottingham and others as far afield as Aberdeen and the Isle of Wight, Mason is best known for his iconic stone carved pieces that are large scale interpretations of natural form. However alongside his public art he was a prolific carver of smaller more intimate and experimental sculptures and drawings and collages. Many of these featured in exhibitions that resulted from prestigious residencies such as Tate St. Ives and Gloucester Cathedral. In his late works on paper colour broke into his output in bold and vigorous paintings; alongside reliefs, drawings and free standing sculpture. Many of these a result of responses to visits to dramatic landscapes such as Malham Cove, Yorkshire, Staffa and the Orkney’s.
“My works attempt to recognise and emulate the natural forces inherent in both carving and the geology. There is something deeply attractive and satisfying about the sculptural processes on both scales, and the dialogue between them that occurs quite naturally within the fragment and the whole.”
Paul Mason
