Richard W. Boardman attended Colchester School of Art and Central School of Art, London. At an early age he was exposed to the rich use of animal imagery in Russian folk stories. In his own work he has continued the development and symbolic use of animal images such as the bird, the fox and the Egyptian inspired Sphinx interpreting each form with his own highly developed sense of aesthetics and humour.

Pencil and Pen and Ink drawings are the key and starting point for the investigation of form. From drawings the sculptures are built up in wax in a time consuming process. When the form meets with his exacting approval they are then cast in bronze, by the Bronzarte Foundry, in Pietrasanta, Italy.

All sculptures are limited editions
