About The Artist
Phillip Hazard was born in Nottinghamshire in 1956. Having served an apprenticeship in engineering and establishing himself as an expert in this field he saw the opportunity to use his welding skills in combination with his brilliant eye for detail to produce artworks of stunning vitality.

Phillip's love of animals and nature inspires both his mythical / historical creations and faithful recreations of birds, horses, dogs and the human form in a wide range of guises.

The technique Phillip uses could not be more difficult to master. This gives every painstakingly produced sculpture not only it's own uniqueness but an individuality of texture and design that is very rarely seen. No two sculptures are the same and no molds or mass production techniques are employed.

A manual / electric form of arc welding is used to shape Steel, Stainless Steel and Copper into structures which take on the power of the technique used to produce them. This is a modern art-form with roots firmly established within the realms of the great sculptors of the Renaissance. It is an art form that could not have existed until the 19th century and is unlikely to to be taken up by any significant number of artists in the future due to it's physical and mental demands.

Phillip Hazard is a true artist who is faithful to his subject and dedicated to his work.
