JULIE TANNER - SCULPTOR
ABOUT JULIE
Welcome to my exciting world of sculpting! Based in Bristol, I specialise in creating stunning bronze figurative pieces that truly celebrate the beauty of the human form.
My journey began the exhilarating lockdown of 2020 when I decided to turn my dwindling freelance graphic design work into a thrilling new adventure! With a stash of free limestone and some tools, I dived into sculpting with pure passion! Now, I craft fabulous masterpieces using oil and water-based clay, all while working at the amazing Pangolin Editions fine art foundry, where I’m constantly learning and growing.
​
In 2023, I was honoured to receive a grant from Arts Council England, allowing me to delve into the world of portrait sculpture in Rome and I had the opportunity to study figurative sculpture with the talented Kristine and Colin Poole in the United States. I'm thrilled to share that I sold the entire edition of my work 'Flow'-my second attempt at sculpting a female figure within just a year, and you can currently find my work showcased at the Watson Gallery in Edinburgh.
​
My passion for anatomy and movement infuses each piece with vitality. I discover beauty in the intricate details of the human form, encapsulating its grace and fluidity. Every sculpture reflects a fleeting moment, highlighting the dynamic relationship between muscle and light. Join me in this exploration of authenticity and creativity, and experience the wonder of the human form through my art.
