Sophie Ryder, Maryhare, 2019 Grey patinated bronze, inscribed Ryder 10/50 to the underside 23cm high, 10.5cm wide, 16cm deep This work is the only edition to also come with a signed sketch of the Maryhare by the artist Similar works by this artist retail at: £7,500 Sophie Ryder: Sophie Ryder’s world is one of animal and mystical creatures constructed from wet plaster, old machine parts, scavenged toys, tangled wire, torn scraps of paper and acid baths. Her hybrid beings are steeped in mythology and cultural symbolism and yet at once they are tender and self-aware, resonating on an immediate and human level. Ryder is renowned for developing the Lady Hare, a hybrid with the head of a hare, as a counterpart to the Minotaur of Greek Mythology. Her anthropomorphic characters are used both to explore the human condition and as a metaphor to Ryder’s own feelings. Indeed the Lady Hare’s body is based on Ryder’s own, imbuing it with a personal significance that transcends the limitations of the autobiographical. Ryder was the youngest student after Turner ever to be admitted to the Royal Academy of Arts. After her studies, Ryder was invited to be Artist in Residence at Yorkshire Sculpture Park. Since graduating in 1986, Ryder has shown her work all over the world, including in major outdoor exhibitions at Yorkshire Sculpture Park, UK; Blickachsen, Germany; Frederick Meijer Sculpture Park, USA; Pilane, Sweden and Salisbury Cathedral, UK.
