    Default My Stalingrad Shortlisted sculpture for the Threadneedle Prize , Mall galleries , 26th Sept

    Thought to post some views of a piece ive been working on for over a year now . I made fifteen mixed media figures representing defeated Wehrmacht troops after the Battle in February 1943. Itl be on show at Londons Mall Galleries from the 26th Sept and its possible to vote for it ( which if i win will enable me to buy lots of militaria ) Seriously though, I'd appreciate anyone near or in London interested to vote for my piece . Im one of 151 exhibiting for the prize . The piece is titled
    , ' Defeat ' .

    Incredible Rob, you have amazing artistic talent. It makes me cold and lonely just looking at it. I'm on the wrong side of the pond to help you out, however, may the swartz be with you. I hope you win. Thanks for sharing this moving piece.

    Excellent work Rob! You've definitely captured the broken spirit and resigned atmosphere of those souls on that long weary, defeated march into captivity and death.
    Best Regards,
    Adrian.

    What a disturbing nightmarish sculpture. Excellent work. If I lived there, you'd definitely have My vote.

    My vote too - this is wonderful work - you are a very talented artist, Rob.

    Are the original items there for study as you sculpt, and what
    shade of colour will the figures be once you are done ?
    Regards,


    Steve.
