About

‘I aim to capture the subtle communicative properties of the body. Whilst making these figures I connect with a character or personality through the pose. Getting into the pose myself enables me to see how it feels, find the weight and make the figure by transferring into the sculpture how I physically feel. The building up of small fragments and unifying them into a form enables ambiguity to lead my eye.’

Tobias Ford is a British sculptor. He mainly sculpts figurative works of art from steel, welding fragments together using a self-developed method. He also exhibits art works from wire and plaster, playing on his intuitive manner of sculpting. Referred to as 'one of the most promising artists', HCA, capturing intent or movement, as well as the line of form and weight of gravity, inspire him.

He accepts work on commission, and exhibits nationally and internationally. After graduating from the Hereford College of Arts (HCA) in Applied Fine Arts, he set up a studio in Butley and has been a practicing artist since.
