δ Ben Panting (British b.1964) 'Spring' Bronze Signed and numbered 1/8 127 x 127 x 30cm (50 x 50 x 12in.) Ben Panting is a British born sculptor working between Cheshire in England and the Pyrenees in France. He is famous for his accurate and unrestrained realism in depicting equine subjects at rest and in movement, and as such has been commissioned by many of the world's leading racehorse owners. Panting is noted for his labour intensive approach to his works in bronze, his obsessive attention to perfecting the original maquette and his rare insistence on following the casting process through to its end himself, without delegating any of the subsequent work. Trained at The Central School of Art (BA, 1984-1987) and The Royal College of Art (MA, 1988-1991) in London, he won several awards and scholarships before graduating and setting up his own studio. His career has been dominated by regular private commissions, including several that are now exhibited in public spaces such as his portraits of Dennis Law and Jimmy Murphy in Manchester. Recent commissions include those from the Barbour family at Bolesworth Castle in Cheshire, Sir Oliver Scott, Malcolm Walker in Cheshire, Sir Michael and Lady Bibby, Daniel Katz in London, the Tollemache family at Helmingham Hall in Suffolk and the British Sporting Art Trust at Newmarket.
