Art by Steve Cutts

Below are a number of images of artwork I have made in the last few years. My work varies from surreal sculpture to portraiture and paintings. Please email me at stevecutts7@hotmail.com if you have any enquiries about any of the pieces.



'bathtub'

I tend to incorporate found objects in many of my sculptures- for this
piece I used an old army ammunitions case which I then converted before
encasing the plaster and wax face inside. The piece measures approx
26 ins X 9 ins

'Pink Lion Monkey'

A quarter scale screaming monkey boy with fake fur slippers, mittens

and mane, embellished with glass eyeballs. Measures approx 25 ins X 8ins



'Michael'

A lifesize sculpture portrait made in fired terracotta clay



'Isabella'

One of a series of abstract portraits in acrylic 32 ins X 32 ins





'Not a flying toy'

This was the central sculpture piece that formed part of the exhibition '27 2 many'.Its definitely a mixed media piece- I used just about everything in this one- mannequins,car tyres, car parts, toys, bottles, cigarette butts, tissue paper and a puppet from a certain childrens television programme made from a beach towel and two hanging baskets. Incidentally the suit he wears is from Savile Row.

'Satsuma Paranoia'

An audience of grinning citrus fruit. The very stuff of nightmares.




'Industrial Salad'

I wanted to make a piece with materials that conflicted with the subject- a delicate salad constructed from harsh industrial materials such as forklift parts and warehouse machinery, complete with an electric fork.


'Cassie'

A commissioned lifesize portrait piece in resin


'Scarlet'

A second piece from my series of abstract portraits 32 ins x 32 ins

'Car Crash Coffee Table'

Inspired by human natures fascination with the macabre, This piece incorporates a 1/10 reconstruction of a car crash inside a glass coffee table.


'Tangerine Telephone'

A comment on the current flair for man playing the role of God, I made this piece to portray a freakish genetically modified Tangerine that grown in the shape of a 1970s telephone. Made in clay and hand painted.


'Globe'

Constructed from a glass sphere, Incorporating a variety of weathered metal pieces including rings and circles alongside shaped mechanical parts.


'Iron Horse'

I welded the frame before adding heavily weathered metal/resin armour pieces to the sculpture. Measures 21 ins X 24 ins.
