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.
