​

Employing a Modernist methodology to explore the human condition in the 21st century, Neil uses the figure as a vehicle to experiment with materials and visual language. He attempts to express ideas about the world we inhabit and the nature of human experience and relationships.

'The making process is very important in my practice. Engaging with the materials, processes and techiques allows me to engage with the subject matter in a more visceral way, responding to the materials intuitively, which keeps the creative decision making active throughout the making of the work. I'm keen to does as much of the process myself including the lost wax bronze casting '.

Neil Wood exhibits regularly across the UK and has been commissioned to create public sculptures for numerous private and public collections.
