Sculptor Bio
Laurent Rivory
I have always had an interest in sculpture but only began steel sculpture in 2019 after doing a National Art School short course. My first exhibition was at Sculpture on the Farm in 2019. I experiment with several styles of steel sculpture using found/recycled steel, largely with waxed and oxidised finishes. Major influences include David Smith (early works in particular) and Julio Gonzalez. My work represents a collision between Cubist leanings, a sensitivity to the provenance and innate aesthetics of the steel, a soupçon of humour and my commitment to an environmentally sustainable art practice.
I was born in France (La Rochelle) but have lived in Australia for over 50 years. I sculpt in my workshop in the Blue Mountains (Springwood) using locally salvaged steel. In some cases, the steel is found in the bush around the area.
