Nick Elphick

 

 

 

North Wales-based artist Nick Elphick is a passionate visionary who has spent the last ten years working to the bone to better understand form and the human mind. With lots of experience in all areas of sculpting, moulding and casting, including teaching. Nick has a team of skilled workers which lets him create any type of commission, large or small. 

 

 

When researching into Nick Elphic I found some really amazing sculptures he has done. He completesd 4 bronze sculptures for the olympic opra. Elphick from Llandudno, Conwy, was asked to sculpt Greek Olympic figures for the Garsington Opera in June, weeks before London 2012 opens. It is based at the home of the late philanthropist Sir Jean Paul Getty II. Mr Elphick said he was working 16-hour days because it was "one of those things you can't turn down".



 

 

 

 

''When we dream, anything is possible..''

 



Looking at Nick elphicks work has got me interested in some other sculptures. Especially the one locally. 'Dream' is situated in St. Helens



 

 

 

Dream is 20 metres high, however its foundation go almost twice that height down underground...

On average, 100,000 vehicles pass Dream daily, equating to more than 35 million vehicles each year...

A total of 6,160 man-hours were spent on site, during the construction of Dream and more than 5,500 cups of tea and coffee were drunk.

Dream is by Jaume Plensa. Jeaume Plensas work is displayed in Yorkshire Stulpture park... A place I have visited on a college trip.
