Out sourcing materials for some exciting new projects, this beautiful stone jumped out.
While installing in Berlin, Paul had a chance to go back to visit the Egyptian Heads in the Pergamon Museum. He last saw them while studying there twenty-five years ago!
‘Egyptian Torso’ recently installed in a very beautiful, 18th Century house, just outside of Berlin.
We had a very successful show at Chelsea this year, receiving a four star award for our stand. It was great to meet existing and new clients. Sculptures were sold to some great collections and we’re looking forward to some exciting new projects.
Paul Vanstone is very busy preparing the stand for RHS Chelsea Flower Show, which runs from 23rd until 27th May, with the gala preview on Monday 22nd May.
In collaboration with Coombe Sculpture Garden, Paul will be exhibiting for the seventh consecutive year. We can be found at Stand WA58, on the Western Avenue.
Our collaboration with Coombe Sculpture Garden has received 5 and 4 star awards for the past three years. This year we will be exhibiting exciting new and previously unseen sculptures.
We do hope you will be able to join us on the stand!
Finally the installation in Lagos is complete.

Paul recently passed through Carrara on one of his regular buying trips and and to explore new material.
While searching for particular hues that evoke the feeling of horses (more on this later) he discovered some real beauties. One was this beautiful clear white onyx that resembled fossilised ice more than stone.
He also found this stunning Red Jasper below.
These trips are such an essential part of the creative process, to stimulate ideas and projects. Walking through the stoneyards and talking to the stone specialists opens new pathways for Paul’s work. And the sunshine helps.

Paul had a trip to France last week to set up some pieces sent ahead to Monaco. The work was installed at a new exclusive members club 39 Monte Carlo. I’m sure that the good followers of Paul’s endeavours are highly likely to pass through at some point so when you do, head straight for the terrace to check them out.

After the summer season it’s nice to have a meaty project to complete and get everybody back into the swing of things.
These fantastic Carrara heads are no exception. They are a commission for a large project in Lagos, Nigeria that has been in the pipeline for some time. They are in the final stages of polishing now, and if we can just get the paperwork side complete (much harder than the making it currently feels like) then they will be on their way in the next few weeks!

on form in Oxfordshire is a biennual sculpture exhibition that Paul has taken part in since 2002. Growing steadily in size and calibre the show has nurtured many artists through their careers.
It is with great pleasure that Paul installed his work there last week, setting up seven new sculptures, some made specifically for the site. This winged piece is one of a pair, made from Italian Carrara marble they sit on 18th Century Cornish granite pillars.
The show opens on 12th June and is highly recommended.

Paul’s Crystal Head was recently bought and has been positioned in the reception area of a Media Company in St James. The combination of Turkish Onyx, Moroccan Black Marble and Carrara Marble base works well in the space. Paul was so taken with the work place that he had his first experience of considering a desk job…. momentarily of course. Phew!

We couldn’t resist sharing this shot from Paul’s recent trip to Italy. He’s been out scouting for blocks to work on for all the upcoming shows such as on form and obviously soaking up a bit of atmosphere at the same time!

For those avid followers out there, you may remember in September Paul was in Peille setting up works in a James Basson designed garden. This weekend Paul returned and spent time in Biot at a beautiful residence installing a piece for its new owner. Previously shown at Chelsea, ‘Standing Orator’ now sits in the grounds of this traditional home.

After a short transitory stint in the Terminal 5 Gallery of Heathrow, one of Paul’s sculptures has been purchased and is now residing in a hospital in Sanya, in the south of China.
We don’t have any more exciting pictures but it’s always great to know where the pieces end up and it’s often somewhere new and interesting.

Happy New Year and just in case you are not completely tired of looking in shops, here is a shot of a new collaboration that has just gone into the Folk Store on Lambs Conduit Street in London.
Working with Folk Designer and Director, Cathal McAteer Paul created this piece using a mix of Onyx, Carrara, Red Tuscan and Black Portoro marbles.
