Sunday Evening Art Gallery — Robin Wight

Robin Wight (-1960) is an English artist and sculptor from Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire.Wight is known for creating stainless steel wire sculptures which depict fairies.

To construct his ethereal sculptures, Wight first builds a sturdy skeleton out of thick steel wire.He then uses different gauges of wire to create muscles, limbs, and skin, wrapping them around the skeleton until they form a dense, lifelike form.Inside each figure lies a heart of stone, sometimes engraved with messages to make each piece unique and personalized.Each wire is carefully shaped and arranged to convey movement, emotion, and intricate details.The transparency of the medium adds a layer of complexity, allowing viewers to appreciate the interplay of light and shadow within the sculptures.In doing this, Wight hopes to “deliver a balance of the traditional childlike whimsicality with the aesthetic of a female form wrapped around an action type persona.”More of Robin Wight’s whimsical sculptures can be found at https://fantasywire.co.uk/
