Ian Turnock

My background in graphic design influences my exploration of form and line. Drawings and photographs are the starting point from which I develop organic, abstract, and figurative sculpture. I create intricate drawings from which the final artwork is digitally cut into stainless steel, corten weathering steel, aluminium, copper, brass and plywood, transforming the drawn line into a tangible object.

I often work to commission, for public, private, and corporate clients and collectors, creating free standing and wall sculpture for interior and exterior spaces. I offer a bespoke service to art consultants, interior designers, architects, and garden designers.
