Guy Taplin\u2019s career from a childish fascination for birds to an international acclaimed artist did not proceed in a straight line. He went from serving in the army to several occasional jobs to woodcarving at the park. At London\u2019s Regent\u2019s Park, Taplin observed the water birds and started to carve them but they yielded poorly.
\nHis objects display a simplicity and subtle grace. But additionally to his minimalistic sculptures of single birds, he created also more complex compositions with groups of birds. Taplin collects his material \u2013 mostly drift wood and remnants of old boats \u2013 near his residence in Wivenhove in the county of Essex. He can be considered as the embodiment of an ecology-minded artist. With the recycling of his material he manages to capture nature\u2019s beauty and nevertheless work sustainable. His sculptures can be found in several important collections all over the world. Some of Taplin\u2019s works exist also in bronze.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
