Michael Turner Collection

British Sculpture & Artist Michael Turner

Michael Turner is an acclaimed, international sculpture working in the medium of stainless steel. Michael's creative and artistic skills developed after leaving school and thus has led to recognition both within the UK and internationally.

During his formative years, his talent became apparent. He had an innate understanding and ability to capture the form and beauty of nature by creating bugs and insects, created simply from the most basic of materials including nuts, bolts and sheet metal found in his fathers’ garage.

Capturing the beauty of nature in unique outdoor stainless steel sculptures.

From the depths of the New Forest

Michael established his first workshop in the green depths of the New Forest at the age of 22. He started to realise his true potential and decided to work in stainless steel, and in particular delighted in the use of recycled materials.

Weather-proof sculptures

This talented Sculptur knew that the material would be perfect for outdoor garden sculptures withstanding the hazards of the outdoor environment. Through nature and its various forms, Michael was inspired. At first, Michael created small insects, fish and dragonflies which kept him busy supplying several galleries around the country.

Global Art

In 2010, Michael was introduced to a major gallery in London where his work took on a whole new dimension. He married and a son was born later in 2011. This gave Michael the impetus and inspiration to create a full-sized Arabian Horse, which was sold through the Gallery. This was to be the start of a whole new era. He soon began to see his work reaching a global clientele who were both discerning and appreciative of great contemporary art.

Sculptures for Commercial Use

Michael has sold to a number of famous people amongst them, more recently, being Celebrity Chef Gordon Ramsay. Gordon became aware of Michael’s work and acquired a full sized Gorilla, which now resides at his flagship London Restaurant. Pieces like ‘Gorilla on a Crate’ and the ‘Crocodile on a Box’, have become signature pieces for the artist, and his work is increasingly being recognized globally as ‘a Michael Turner’.

Michael has just sold crocodile number 14, one recently was delivered to the partner of a millionaire in Paris, another went to the husband of a supermodel in Russia for his birthday!
