I, Abbas Hashemi was born in Mashad, Iran. Completed studies in 1974 at Cambridge College of Art & Technology.
Although I aim to achieve a final simplicity in my works, the ideas which they express are often relatively complex. For me, discovering what there is inside a piece of stone is an endless effort. There is, always, another sculpture to carve, another feeling to express, another childhood memory to tell.
Apart from some simple figurative forms, my work tends toward the abstract and it is
Although I aim to achieve a final simplicity in my works, the ideas which they express are often relatively complex. For me, discovering what there is inside a piece of stone is an endless effort. There is, always, another sculpture to carve, another feeling to express, another childhood memory to tell.
Apart from some simple figurative forms, my work tends toward the abstract and it is
inspired not only by natural and organic forms, but also by what I read, and what I remember from the past, or what I observe at the present. I call a sculpture completed when I feel fully satisfied with the work in front of me.
I make outdoors sculptures mainly in limestone such as Portland, Clipsham and Ancaster. I also make smaller indoor pieces in Alabaster and Soapstone.
My studio is at Wysing Arts Centre, Bourn, near Cambridge. I also give talks, teach and run workshops for adult students.
