‘FLOURISH' ceiling sculpture

David Begbie - Artist Statement

'FLOURISH' 2025
Ceiling feature commissioned by Tibbatts Abel architects for Regina's, Birmingham.

FLOURISH, a monumental semi-abstract suspended floral composition in bronzemesh (300 x 200 cm) is the latest artwork commissioned by Tibbatts Abel, Birmingham who also commissioned David's TRANSPOSE 2012, a giant floating bronzemesh seated Buddha for Buddha-Bar Knightsbridge, London.
This dynamic ceiling feature is simultaneously a celebration of natural organic forms and of the fabulous bronzemesh medium itself. The result is a floating nexus of cloud-like shapes and floral elements where a nebulous fusion of water vapour and plant form is created and presented as a floating focal point.
David has a long history of commissioned artworks and solo exhibitions in the city of Birmingham dating back to 1999 with a collection of angel sculptures for Tibbatts Associates' The Jam House and a series of exhibitions with the former Gallery Number Nine.

My sculptures have no palpable substance or surface. At first glance they appear to be a metallic membrane but when you take a closer look they are not even a skin - they are instead a delineation of surface and form, modelled and drawn in three-dimensional space.
