Stepping Out by Ed Rust

Ed Rust is a Yorkshire-based British sculptor who constructs bronzes which give a whimsical slant to sporting and other outdoor pursuits, exaggerated by the spindle-like nature of his work that add a feeling of motion.  Ed’s primary concern is to represent animated rather than static figures, and he achieves this by exploring the ideas of proportion, stretching and manipulating parts of the sculpture into extreme positions until they seem to be mid movement. Despite their exaggerated lines and humorous attitudes, these quirky figures touch people by tapping into the shared experience of sprinting down the wing or being pulled almost off your feet by an overenthusiastic dog. Studied art at Batley Art College where he discovered new ideas and was influenced by some great artists.

A huge admirer of 20th century sculptor Barbara Hepworth, her modernist works have greatly influenced Ed’s style as it developed into his signature look. His dynamic sculpture has been likened to the distinctive elongated figures of another great artists of the 20th century Alberto Giacometti.

Cast from Bronze, Ed’s detailed and expressive work would make for a great single piece or as a part of a larger collection of art.
