Barry Sutton gained his degree in sculpture at Leicester UK in the mid 70’s doing
large figurative pieces. He worked for 15 years at the British Museum (Natural History) in London whilst still
producing his own sculpture.
During this time he made an extensive study of animal anatomy and was promoted to be the Head of the modelmaking Department, a position he gave up in 1991. Since then he has worked on numerous film and TV projects where his specialist skills of anatomical sculpting have been in great demand.
Having a sound knowledge of anatomy enables him to be inventive with form ,when producing his Goya-esque impressions of animals , without compromising the inner rationale.
