Contemporary sculpture

"My work as a sculptor is always evolving and as I begin this new chapter of life here in Ireland, (the home of my maternal ancestors) I start to get a deeper understanding of the rocks I shape and begin to see how they also shape me.

Surrounded by the Atlantic ocean with majestic hills and mountains rising into the skies, this 'Co Kerry' landscape draws me to its heart and it is here I find my inspiration and a true sense of peace."

Benjamin C Dearnley Summer 2021

Marble

Marble has long been considered one of the finest materials a sculptor can work with and Ben has spent time in the mountains of Carrara Italy working this much sought after material into some highly collectable pieces of fine art. His 'Modern with tradition' approach brings a unique feel to his work.

Stained Glass

The hand painted stained glass pieces Ben creates use light as the key. The larger outdoor sculptures capture the ever changing daylight and have a unique 'living' aspect to them. Always giving the viewer a new experience with each passing day. The smaller indoor works share this aspect in a more intimate way, blending colours and form.
