Gareth Graham's Infant Study is a sculptural work that captures the delicate essence of early childhood. While specific details about this piece are limited, Graham's broader body of work—such as Child's Play and Reaching for the Stars—demonstrates his commitment to realism and emotional depth. In these works, he employs fine materials like Huon Pine, often finished with a lime wash, to highlight the natural beauty of the timber and the intricacies of the human form. Through meticulous craftsmanship, Graham conveys the innocence and vulnerability inherent in his subjects, inviting viewers to engage with the universal themes of growth and human connection.

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.
