Craig Medson
1960 - 2015 Born - Gold Coast, Qld. "The materials I use in my sculptures have been around since time immemorial; marble, sandstone and bronze have been used in sculptures for thousands of years. I like the permanence of these materials but I like to use them in a contempory manner - give them a fresh approach by sometimes combining two or three materials. Stone sculpture has always had connotations of heavy, dense mass. I try and make my sculptures appear light and rhythmic, often belying the weight they really are. I also like to add the element of movement to add more interest. My aim is to try and create sculptures that emit an aura of beauty, of harmony, balance and peace." Craig Medson was a leading Queensland sculptor who since 1980 has had many group and solo exhibitions in New South Wales, Queensland and in Italy where he has studied on many occasions. Craig has completed many corporate and private commissions both in Australia and overseas. He was an accomplished teacher of sculpture and has been involved with many workshops. As an invited participant in International Sculptural Symposia across the world including in Spain, South Korea, Cyprus, Turkey, Japan and more, his works can be seen publicly in each of these countries. In 2005 he was the project manager for an International Sculptural Symposium on the Sunshine Coast - a resounding success at the Maroochy Botanic Gardens, now a wonderful destination for art lovers. |
