The StatueMaquette
A maquette has been produced as a first draft to capture the essence of how the final statue will look. Samuel will be shown holding the Ryder Cup. He is stepping leaning forward with right hand held out to shake that of the winning team captain. Jemma Pearson
The sculptor Jemma Pearson is based in Clun, Shropshire. Her aim is always ‘to create pieces that capture a sure likeness and have the merit to stand as works of art in their own right’.
Jemma’s work includes a magnificent sculpture of Darwin, commissioned in 2000 by Shrewsbury School, and the full sized portrait bronze of Elgar commissioned for Hereford Cathedral and unveiled in 2005. She was commissioned to produce a second Elgar, which is sited at the Elgar Birthplace Museum near Worcester, England. Her most recent public commission is a sculpture of former British Prime Minister William Ewart Gladstone for Glenalmond College, a school founded by Gladstone in the 1800's. The sculpture is in celebration of the Bicenetary of his Birth and was unveiled by Sir William Gladstone, the present holder of the baronetcy, on July 3rd 2010. Inspired early in her life by meeting both Henry Moore and Dame Elizabeth Frink, and also influenced by Jacob Epstein, Jemma works in the tradition of figurative sculpture. She now has a considerable body of highly acclaimed work behind her and is arguably one of the most exciting portrait sculptors working in the UK today. www.jemmapearson.com
