Stephen Cox is a British sculptor who has produced work for locations in the UK and around the world. Cox is best known for producing large-scale works which draw on traditions from Egypt, Italy, and India, in particular. His sculptures are highly charged with a sense of spirituality and monumentality, and can be compared to the works of great British sculptors of the mid-twentieth-century, such as Henry Moore and Barbara Hepworth. Cox has produced work which has been displayed at a wide range of locations, including Tate Britain, Dulwich Picture Gallery, Glyndebourne Opera House, and the Hayward Gallery in London. His sculptures have been exhibited abroad, in Italy, Switzerland, the Netherlands, and the USA; they have also been displayed in India, including at the Jamali Kamali Gardens and at the sculpture park of the Madhavendra Palace in Rajasthan. Cox has been awarded a number of prizes for his work, winning the Arts Council of Great Britain Award, the British Council Bursary, the Indian Triennale Gold Medal, and the Royal Academy Goldhill Sculpture Prize.
The present work comes with associated wall bracket.
