John Bridgeman (1916-2004) Roman Torso Bronze, 22cm high Provenance: Artifix Galleries Ltd, West Midlands John Bridgeman (1916-2004) was reputedly one of the finest sculptors in Britain to work with fibreglass, plastics, concrete and cement. His versatility allowed him to work on both monumental and small scale works, all of which were created through the technique of wax modelling and bronze casting. Born in Felixstowe, Suffolk he was awarded a scholarship to the Royal College of Art, his time at the Royal College was interrupted by the outbreak of war in 1939. After the war Bridgeman continued his studies at the Royal College of Art alongside Frank Dobson. He won the Otto Beit award for sculpture in 1947, graduating in 1949. Bridgeman went on to become the head of Sculpture at Birmingham Art College. His method of teaching was inspirational, generating long lasting loyalty from his students. During the war Bridgeman became a conscientious objector, the day to day civilian wartime experience of living in war torn London had a profound effect on his work.
