{Steve Yeates}

Steven Yates, born in Brighton now lives in London completed his BA (Hons) at St Martin’s 2002.  His work explores the emotional repercussions on the soul of any individual of any emotional or physical act whether it be positive or negative. Working in figurative sculpture allows him to challenge the preconception of figurative art through the mixtures of media used and their methodology.

Steve’s Sculptures can display an amazing array of definitive states from tragic and haunting to ethereal and dynamic. One of the lessons of his life has been that it's transitions can illustrate the inconstant energy that is living in today's often brutal society. The violence and its repercussions are shown in the work made of recycled glass, the brutality of the act is magnified by its consequence,

“I try to transform that anger to something that is generically positive by moulding the glass into shapes of beauty transfixed into statuesque poses reminding us of our inner strength”.

Steve exhibits in many a high end gallery, his contemporary / unique sculpture have won him accolades and collectors all over the world.
