Step into the wild and wonderful world of wire art with Candice Bees, a talented award-winning artist. Candice grew up in the South West of England and through her work has given us a still-life glimpse of the animals that were around her for much of the time. Inspiring her to create beautiful wire sculptures in such fine texture and form.
Her fondness of animals, accompanied by an intricate understanding of anatomy and movement has manifested in Candice using her creative skills to express unique animal motions and interactions that feel refreshing and real.
LANDMARK ON SKY ARTS
Candice represented Wales on Sky Arts in a competition to find an artist to create significant landmark sculpture for the U.K.
The series is called Landmark and aired on Sky Arts. You can read more about the event here: https://artuk.org/discover/stories/landmark-on-sky-arts-wales
I enjoyed how they describe her work on the show:
"it is in watching Candice work with the different grades of steel wire that the haptic nature of the medium truly comes across. With the almost meditative repetition of the threading of the wire, it is quite amazing to watch the animal figures develop their corporeal sense, effectively coming to life with the cheeky attitude that she intended."
Candice has exhibited in London, including twice at the Society Of Equestrian Artist's annual show at the Mall Galleries, at the Society of Wildlife Artists annual exhibition, and at the David Shepherd Wildlife Artist of the Year exhibition, where Candice won the Urban Wildlife category for her work 'Unnatural Selection'.
