The Herald: Artist profile

By Sarah Urwin Jones.



One of Britain’s foremost sculptors, Tony Cragg makes monumental sculptures cast in bronze, steel-forged or carved from stone. Metamorphic, allusive, never entirely abstract, his forms might suggest vessels from washing-up bottles to ancient pots or ever-changing human profiles. The emphasis is on the perceptive, subjective aspect of viewing. Everywhere there is the quality of surprise, the sensation one might have looking at a natural form whose deliberateness and sophistication suggest it must, yet can’t, have been created by human hand.
