Robin Holliday Sculpture

Robin had been elected Fellow of the Royal Society in 1976, Foreign Fellow of the Indian National Science Academy in 1995, and then Fellow of the Australian Academy of Science in 2005. He published six books, and about 270 scientific papers. After retirement he took up a long-standing interest in sculpture which initiated, in effect, a second career. His many bronze sculptures are exhibited in and around Sydney, and have also been exported to the USA and UK.

His  interest in sculpture dates back to the l960s and l970s when he attended classes at an Art School in Hertford, Herts, UK, and also at the Camden Art Centre, Finchley, London. Two of his  instructors were the established sculptors Mark Harvey and Jesse Watkins, and three others had worked as assistants to Henry Moore, Barbara Hepworth and EduardoPaolozzi.

Robin  worked with stone, wood, clay and plaster and  obtained instruction in art metalwork, and experimented with mixed media.
