Meet David Reekie

David Reekie, an eminent English glass sculptor, explores the human condition through innovative lost wax casting techniques. His work, held in prestigious institutions including the Victoria and Albert Museum, begins with drawings and clay models before transforming into glass. Using ceramic enamel colours to mirror his drawing effects, David's sculptures examine political and societal dynamics through carefully positioned figures, facial expressions, and subtle eye movements that capture the complexity of human relationships.

David’s cast glass and wood sculptures explore human curiosity and the importance of deep observation. These figures reveal how subtle body language, a glance or tilt of the head - can communicate profound meaning. David invites viewers to look beyond the surface, suggesting that truth requires careful attention to detail. Complemented by Glenn Godden's flameworked element, the work challenges us to question what we see and understand more fully.

He received a Winston Churchill Fellowship and an Honorary Doctorate from the University of Wolverhampton.
