Elliot Channer

Biography

Born in 1989 in Staffordshire, Elliot showed a passion for wildlife and art from a young age. Described as one of the 'young stars' of the international art fair circuit by Belgravia magazine, he is influenced by the animal sculptures of Rembrandt Bugatti and Antoine- Louis Barye. He focuses on capturing the life and grace of the subject, concentrating on their key features but allowing spontaneity to make up the main body of the sculpture. Largely self-taught, Elliot takes inspiration from the countryside, initially in Staffordshire and Derbyshire, Elliot now travels extensively in order to observe and photograph animals in their natural habitat. Alongside lifesize sculptures, he also scales down large animals creating more manageable sculptures. Elliot's clay sculptures are cast in bronze and he works closely with a team of skilled craftsmen at a bronze foundry in Birmingham where his work is cast using the ancient Lost wax process.

All of Elliot's sculptures are strictly limited edition.
