Robert Hague – Reel 2004 – CMS500 Robert Hague – Reel 2004. Robert Hague has been a practicing sculptor for over three decades and during his career he has participated in solo and group exhibitions in Australia, New Zealand, China, Hong Kong and the United Kingdom. Robert was born in Rotorua, New Zealand and re-located to Australia in the mid-1980s. In 1999 he was awarded ‘The Director’s Prize’ in Sculpture By The Sea, Sydney. In 2000 he received the ‘Waverley Art Prize’ for Sculpture Sydney, and in 2010 he won the Deakin University Contemporary Small Sculpture Award. Robert’s sculptural work is part of corporate and private collections in Australia, China, New Zealand, United Kingdom and the United States. Robert is based in Melbourne working primarily with bronze and steel. He is fascinated by the radical asymmetry of his work, one that forces continued change in the work through rotation. He sees it as a revelation in the making that is constantly challenging his ways of creative thinking. This work was inspired by a conversation with an American sculptor, about rotational symmetry. ‘I had argued against symmetry but decided to experiment with rotation after his comments on repetition’. In particular to the Orbis series, the internal cuts make reference to the Maori wood carvings he grew up amongst in Rotorua, New Zealand. Painted metallised steel. H. 250 x 76 x 54 cm

I am engaging in a technicque called ‘sfumato’ where the subjects edges are softly blended imparting an intriguing smoky effect. I have included examples of my new charcoal artwork collaboration with Allpress Antiques in Melbourne, creating charcoal art inspired by ‘Objects of Virtue’. This first example of my work is of the much loved whippet ‘Dash’. Mali Moir Botanical, Scientific and Natural History Artist.
