TODD STUART ARTIST SCULPTOR
CONTEMPORARY SCULPTURE
Interior and exterior sculpture
Dragonfly is dynamic
and intriguing. Painstakingly constructed from 316 Marine Grade Stainless
Steel, the sculpture captures a true sense of movement yet maintains perfect
balance. The image of the insect has been frozen in time just as it touches
down upon a small branch in the water, its wings not quite yet at rest. With a
meticulously buffed and polished mirror finish, the fine workmanship of this
sculpture need speak only for itself.
Todd Stuart was
born in Perth, Western Australia in 1970. He completed his study of Industrial
Design at Curtin University Perth Western Australia in 1992. Initially employed
as creative designer at “ARTIFEX AUSTRALIA” he created new innovative ranges of
upholstered commercial furniture. These were brought to fruition through Todd’s
hands-on involvement to handcraft the concepts in the workshop to form the
initial proto-type proofs in the 3 dimension form. In 1994 Todd commenced his
own business which focused on creating & implementing bespoke furniture
designs for some of the highest profile Interior designers, Architects &
projects Australia wide.
In 2005 Todd
gained a substantial project in the Middle East that saw him set up a new
business in Dubai. Todd has gained client confidence in several countries
throughout the Middle East for his creativity, ability to implement, craft
& deliver to the highest quality, large scale projects of a custom nature.
In 2009 to 2011 Todd was able to gain a number of commercial sculpture
commissions in both Oman & Dubai.
In early 2011
Todd returned to reside in Victoria & further explore his passion for
sculpture. Sculpture as a medium has become one of Todd’s favorite outlets to
freely express his inner creative being without the restrictions that oppose
this idea in the commercial world.
As a young boy
Todd was influenced by his father, who’s profession was teaching secondary
school children manual arts. As a consequence to this Todd spent a lot of time
accessing his father’s workshop, creating, making & experimenting in many
different material types. From his secondary school years until now Todd has
had a deep passion for conceiving, developing, crafting & creating across a
variety of mediums. Todd has been recognized & awarded for this throughout
his time with awards from City Council for Craftsmanship (age 11), National
award from secondary school for craftsmanship (age 17) & several awards
from the Furniture Industry Association Australia for best design innovation crafted
for leather upholstery.
