Peter

Linnett

Disciplines: Sculpture

Location: Edinburgh

Materials: Bronze, Casting, Welding, Woodwork
Peter Linnett’s work as a sculptor has evolved in parallel with – and been clearly informed by – a career encompassing engineering, antiques and historic buildings. His catalogue comprises just a handful of pieces, most notably the furniture series “Imagined Creatures”. These works echo the forms of fine antique furniture, whilst channeling the character of various mythological creatures. He has exhibited and lectured predominantly in China, with work in museum and private collections in Beijing, Shanghai and Tianjin, as well as in Europe.
