Profile

Douglas Jennings studied figurative sculpture at Stafford Art College where he was inspired by renaissance sculptors such as Bernini and Michelangelo. He embarked upon his career at Madame Tussauds where he specialised in portrait sculpture of celebrities and historical figures. His interest in developing realistic and accurate portrait figures has continued as a freelance artist. His approach to sculpture now is varied both in style and medium from loosely modelled to a very high realistic finish. He sculpts with sensitivity to the human form whether in miniature or large scale bronze.

Recent commissions include:

 `Johnny Haynes` England Captain  and Fulham hero commissioned by Fulham FC
 `Job Henry Charles Drain VC` WW1 Hero commissioned by Barking & Dagenham County Council
 `Mona Lisa` reworking of the iconic painting commissioned by Hauser & Wirth Art Galleries

As part of the process in creating a sculpture for the home, boardroom or Public areas Douglas is able to consult with you and use a broad range of references to create a memorable and unique work of art.
