I don't know much about him either except to say that David Wynne was born in London, and seems to have had no formal art training. His figurative sculpture concentrates on movement, and includes most notably Girl With Doves (1970), The Dancers (1971) and Dancer with Bird (1975), all in Cadogen Square Gardens. Other works in London are Girl with a Dolphin and Boy with a Dolphin, the latter being at the Chelsea School of Art. In the 1950s Wynne was concerned mainly with animal sculptures, and his Guy the Gorilla is in the Crystal Palace Gardens (Guy was the most famous gorilla at London Zoo). Ahem. Here's some more of his stuff: http://shroudedindoubt.typepad.com/photos/kendall_sculpture_gardens/index.html ...you might like Antony Gormley too: http://www.antonygormley.com/viewphotoseries.php?photoseriesid=5&page=1 I’m guessing not.

Never seen anything like this. Looks like a William Blake painting gone 3D. Great photo here as well: http://www.redbubble.com/people/blythphoto/art/716236-2-14-river-god-newcastle-upon-tyne-2008 I'm looking for info about David Wynne. I'm supposing the sculptor's not the same David Wynne as the composer? Wow. Never seen anything like this. Looks like a William Blake painting gone 3D.
