Royal Academician, Ann Christopher is a well known sculptor whose elegant and intricate works seem to evade gravity to rise gracefully into space.

About

Taking her inspiration from a wide range of sources, including both ancient standing stones and soaring skyscrapers on an urban skyline, Christopher's work is recognisable for its intimate attention to detail and surface texture. Despite their subtle surfaces and slender forms, Christopher's sculptures in bronze, steel or silver have great strength and presence and her delicate works on paper also have immense impact, regardless of their fragile nature. It is this remarkable ability to carefully balance both power and grace that sets her aside from the bolder, more brutal principles of the avant-garde sculptors of the 1960's that initially inspired Christopher such as Richard Serra and Eduardo Chillida . This exhibition at Pangolin London focuses on a brand new body of work in a variety of media and is Christopher's first major solo show in London since her exhibition at the Royal Academy. Christopher's public and private commissions can be found across the globe and her work is held in numerous public collections. To book go to: www.kingsplace.co.uk or Tel: 020 7520 1490
