FRÉDÉRIC DATY TRINITY
International sculptor Frédéric Daty joined Washington Green Fine Art’s portfolio of contemporary artists after taking part in the Summer Exhibition 2014. Following unprecedented interest in his innovative wall sculptures, Frédéric was signed by the fine art publisher to create a series of original works for its nationwide network of Castle Fine Art and Castle Galleries. Using the skills he learnt while working as a graphic designer in Paris, he begins a piece by sketching the scene before mapping out the sculpture in a digital format. Layers of hand-cut steel sheets are then built up and polished with varnish and coloured tar. The individual
elements stand away from the wall at varying angles, creating a 3D effect. He uses stylised shapes and forms to produce simple and clear sculptures that command people to stop and think. Daty has recently enjoyed his first UK solo show at Castle Fine Art, South Molton Street. ‘Trinity’ saw iconic London scenes from Westminster to Big Ben given a metallic makeover – the show caused such a stir that a number of his pieces sold before being hung on the gallery walls.
