AppArt’s Art Exhibition and Sculpture Trail 2022

Last year for the first time AppArt held its exhibition in July because of the Covid lockdown in April. This proved to be our most successful show with record sales, especially outside sculpture. 

Returning to their normal time of the year at Easter, AppArt has enlisted the help of Andrew Sinclair one of the UK’s leading figurative Sculptors. Andrew has exhibited with us before, but not since he moved to Devon where with his wife Diane Coates- Sinclair they founded the “Sculpture School.” Andrew has had an impressive career over many years with commissions all over the world for private and public clients. 

This includes the Duke of Wellington's Regimental Memorial Sculpture, unveiled in the centre of Halifax, Yorkshire in May 2019. 

The 16ft sculpture commemorates all those lives affected by the work of the Regiment – the soldiers, the families and the community. A trade-mark feature of Andrew’s work is his ability to not just replicate the image of a person or people but to bring them to life and tell their stories through visual narrative and unparalleled sculptural techniques.

The memorial celebrates the 300-year history of the 'Dukes' regiment and has become a centre of attraction. Another impressive commission was the David Bowie sculpture “The Earthly Messenger” installed in Aylesbury. It reflects some of the many musical characters that David Bowie portrayed over his long career. Some of his own work could be described as quirky and that includes his well-known nude women riding a dinosaur, but he can turn his talent to many subjects including large animals and a good example is an impressive Durer’s Rhino.
