Linda Joyce Biography

As nothing can emulate the style and character of the immortal subjects that Linda Joyce sculpts, so nothing can replicate the individually sculpted and finished works of art that reflect their charisma. Linda Joyce, the internationally acclaimed sculptor, introduces a collection of strictly limited edition bronzes and sculptures that rekindle the energy and spirit of icons and legends who have left their mark in history. Born in the years when many of the icons and legends she portrays were at the apogee of their lives, wild child Linda eventually realised her talent for creating in three dimensional form, the essence of those who would later become the keystones of our own lifetimes. With a natural gift and intuitive eye, Linda polished her talent over the ensuing years. Other than a brief interlude in Frye Academy, Denn Haag, Linda honed her skills solely by applying self-motivation and stringent self-discipline to raise her talent to the level it has reached today where her work is no stranger to Harrods. Linda has worked and travelled the world in the perfection of her art, sculpting throughout Europe, the Middle East and the Antipodes.

Artist's Statement

Rather than simply replicate the popular images of these outstanding characters i have sought to capture what I’d call their ‘feisty fragility’ in the pose and presentation of my bronzes – their strength as performers and icons, which is so closely linked with their vulnerability as humans.
