Stephen Hart is an artist and sculptor who lives and works in Brisbane, Queensland.
My art work is predominantly hand crafted sculpture in wood and bronze. And my artistic journey is largely philosophical enquiry that reflects my interest in rituals, habits and the complexities of human society.
That familiar yet amazing carapace, the human body, has been Stephen Hart’s primary source of sculptural inspiration.
I think about sculpture as containers as the body of thought that has gone into their making. Because one work leads into another, each is an expression of the ongoing dialogue, witness to this unfolding life. The appearance of each work represents a gradually attuned conversation between mind, hand and universe. Given the infinite space of the mind and the hands capacity to translate its discoveries, anything is possible. It is infinite possibility that I have grappled with in my solitary life in the studio.
