Girl with Toy Penguin
Huon Pine with Lime Wash Sculpture
Dimensions: 1340 x 520 x 150 mm

Gareth Graham's Girl with Toy Penguin is a serene, life-sized sculpture carved from Huon Pine and finished with a lime wash. Measuring 1340 x 520 x 150 mm, the piece portrays a reposing figure with lifelike detail, embodying Graham's commitment to classical techniques and emotional realism. The inclusion of a toy penguin introduces a subtle narrative element, evoking themes of childhood innocence and quiet introspection. This work exemplifies Graham's ability to merge traditional craftsmanship with contemporary sensibility, inviting viewers to reflect on the nuanced emotions conveyed through the human form.

About Gareth Graham
Gareth Graham draws inspiration from the human form, focusing on gesture and expression as means of conveying emotion and shared experience. His work explores the body as a language, inviting empathetic interpretation while acknowledging the subjectivity shaped by individual perspective. Influenced early by Renaissance sculpture during formative visits to Rome and Florence, his references have since expanded to include contemporary artists such as Ricky Swallow, Alex Seton, Ron Mueck, Antony Gormley, and Marc Quinn. While grounded in traditional, process-driven techniques, Graham’s practice bridges classical aesthetics with contemporary human experience, reflecting the pluralistic nature of art today.
