Classical Modern Bronze & Bronze Resin Sculpture
Beatrice Hoffman creates stylised abstract and figurative sculptures, using clay and plasticine, cast in bronze or bronze resin, from her Oxford-based workshop.
Her sculptures add refinement and beauty to homes , inside and outside, and appeal to interior and garden architects.With her stylish and elegant sculptures, Beatrice Hoffman achieves simplicity and abstraction, to add intensity and clarity to her creations.
Commissioned to create bespoke pieces, from small-scale private collections to a large hospital entrance centre-piece, Beatrice has exhibited widely throughout the UK and across Europe, and sold worldwide.
She seeks psychological depth, and is drawn to meaningful themes on the interface of mythology, psychology and spirituality: inner strength, serenity, human identity and relationships, trust, tenderness, ambivalence and love – to name but a few.
She hopes to enable engagement and contemplation: for the viewer to find reflected in her sculptures a feeling or experience, and through this silent communion find empathy, beauty and peace.
This is what makes her sculptures so perfectly suited for being lived and interacted with on a daily basis, in the house, the garden or a public space.
My Approach
Beatrice Hoffman in conversation with Noah Stone from “Open Frame UK ” about her approach to sculpting; what themes interest and guide her; and her private and public commissions.
Walking Forwards
Walking Forwards was a public commission by the Northampton Hospital in 2016, to publicise their vital work on organ donations, and their need for more willing donors. Beyond that theme, the sculpture has a universal appeal, as it describes a caring and supportive relationship, the kind of human contact we are dependent on for our well-being.
Sculpture Garden
