Sensational spinning sculpture is up for National Sculpture Prize

Thursday, 11 April, 2019

Congratulations to Roger Clarke, Fine Art Senior Lecturer, who has been selected as a finalist for the National Sculpture Prize in association with the Broomhill Art and Sculpture Foundation.

Each year the ten short-listed sculptors selected by a panel of judges receive £1,000 each to create their proposed sculpture which is then exhibited at the Broomhill Sculpture Park in Devon at an annual summer exhibition.

For his entry, Roger will produce a spinning sculpture called the ‘Broomhill Spinning Sculpture’ - a two and a half metre tall sculpture that visitors will be able to spin.

The sculpture will be installed at the end of May and is the newest in a series of artworks that Roger started last summer in Latvia.

You can follow Roger’s progress on the National Sculpture Prize blog.

Roger lives and works between London and Bath. He was awarded the Henry Moore Sculpture Fellowship at Winchester School of Art in 1991 and the Rome Scholarship in Sculpture in 1994. He is Senior Lecturer at Bath Spa University and his work has been exhibited in many exhibitions throughout the UK, Europe and beyond.
