Peter Randall-Page, born in 1954 in Essex, is a distinguished British artist and sculptor celebrated for his profound engagement with nature’s geometric patterns. Educated at the Bath Academy of Art from 1973 to 1977, he honed his skills in sculpture, laying the foundation for a career that seamlessly blends art with the intrinsic designs found in the natural world. His work contributes a distinctive voice to Modern British Art, drawing on organic form and structure to explore the intersection of science, nature, and aesthetics.
Early in his career, Randall-Page collaborated with renowned sculptor Barry Flanagan and contributed to conservation efforts at Wells Cathedral. A pivotal moment was his 1980 Winston Churchill Memorial Trust Travelling Fellowship, which enabled him to study stone carving techniques at the Carrara quarries in Italy, deepening his appreciation for the medium.
Randall-Page's oeuvre is characterised by large-scale stone sculptures that explore the mathematical principles governing natural forms. His fascination with geometry is evident in works like Seed (2007), a monumental granite piece housed at the Eden Project in Cornwall.
Throughout his career, Randall-Page has undertaken numerous public commissions, with sculptures installed in diverse locations from London's urban landscapes to Japan's Yamaguchi Prefecture. His contributions to art and architecture have been recognised with multiple honorary doctorates and his election as a Royal Academician in 2015.
Beyond sculpture, Randall-Page's practice encompasses drawing and printmaking, all reflecting his deep-seated interest in the patterns and structures of the natural world. His works are held in prestigious collections globally, including the Tate Gallery and the British Museum, underscoring his significant impact on contemporary art.
Residing in Devon, Randall-Page continues to create, driven by a passion to explore and interpret the harmonious complexities of nature through art.
