Artist Statement
David Watkinson describes himself as “a modern artist in its truest sense”, referencing his use of modern techniques to challenge traditional practices. Focusing heavily on kinetic pieces, he aims to create contemplative visual experiences by sculpting unfamiliar forms.
Watkinson began his training at Wrexham College of Art and continued onto Leeds Metropolitan University where he attained a B.A Hons in Fine Art. Since then he has worked as a full time sculptor from his studios in Leeds.
