PR Summary
Sweeney’s first works were sold at the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition in 2007. He has since created various one off pieces for prestigious exhibitions including the highly respected Eaton Terrace Gallery in Belgravia, to corporate commissions at BAA Stansted Airport.
Sweeney’s work is inspired by his colourful past and method acting career. Specifically, his study of the Laban technique which teaches the study of the negative space surrounding an object and the pressures found moving through it. It is this awareness that feeds energy and drama into his work. His forms undergo a meticulous finishing process that reflects the artist’s journey and obsession. The result brings a totally unique sensation from the interplay of colour, reflection and form on their tactile surfaces.
His work has been featured on the BBC’s Royal Academy Summer Exhibition Show and the RA Illustrated Catalogue as well BBC Essex Radio.
BBC’s ‘Look East’ are currently documenting the commission and installation of a Sweeney sculpture at the Burlington club in Mayfair.
