Sculpture and Stylist Influences

Based in Yorkshire, Steve Winterburn's intricate bronze sculptures reflect over 20 years of experimentation and artistic success. His work has found acclaim in renowned establishments like Harrods, Selfridges, Sotheby’s, and Christies. Drawing from his innate understanding of engineering and wildlife, Steve infuses his artwork with inspiration gleaned from his extensive travels as a conservation trustee spanning over a decade.

Steve Winterburn’s eclectic body of sculptures represent a deep understanding and respect for his subjects, visually encapsulating some of the world’s most striking creatures in bronze with subtle, organic movement that denotes life.

Red Right Hand

The raw power of Peaky Blinders and its characters ignited a fire of inspiration for Winterburn’s latest sculpture titled after the show’s mystifying title music, ‘Red Right Hand’. Born and raised in the Midlands, and spending much of his early days working in factories, he feels a connection with the series as a story born out of working-class revolution.

Depicting the notorious Shelby brothers, this carefully crafted with fine bronze sculpture by Steve Winterburn transports viewers back to the dark iconography of the much-loved series.

“Sculpture is true art; it lives in every dimension and through the ages. You live with it, engage with it. Bronze is as eternal as diamonds.”

Grounded Serenity | 2024

In his new contemporary style, the expressive horse head sculpted by Steve Winterburn is driven by an elemental and spiritual standpoint. Sculpted with strong and striking textures, the artist was inspired by the power of Earth, capturing a real presence of peace and tranquillity, whilst celebrating the beautiful animals for their grace and strength.

With 'Grounded Serenity', the sculpture captured the real presence of peace and tranquillity, emulating feelings of belonging and home. Sculpted with strong and striking textures, the composition of the piece was contrastingly mounted on its nose, giving a warm gently edge to the bronze sculpture. A conscious effort from Steve, this intends to portray the duality of the beautiful creatures, although big and powerful, they are also very gently and loving.

Making magic from Bronze

At Yorkshire Fine Arts, the Winterburn family upholds a steadfast commitment to maintaining the intimate, hands-on approach to traditional fine art bronze casting. With each member actively engaged in the operations of the foundry, a sense of familial dedication permeates every aspect of their craft. Although Yorkshire Fine Arts' foundry has only operated since 2002, the Winterburn family's techniques trace back millennia. Over years of research and development, they've perfected their craft, blending modern materials with age-old artisan practices. Every stage of their process is meticulously carried out by hand on site, ensuring each piece is distinct in its creation.

From the initial sketch and armature, to the powerful bronze pour and adding of patina, every sculpture is meticulously produced under Steve’s singular eye. The result is a series of meticulous sculptures that are authentic to the artist's vision and dynamic representations of the long history of bronze.

With historical art, it doesn’t have to be about the accuracy of the animal, we have the power to give it something more, something ancient.

Wildlife and Conservationism

For over a decade, Steve Winterburn has traversed the globe as a conservationist, fuelled by a profound passion for wildlife and a deep commitment to environmental stewardship. His role as a trustee for esteemed organizations like Care for the Wild International has provided him with invaluable first hand experiences, allowing him to intimately connect with the animals he immortalizes in bronze.

Drawing from his encounters and observations in the wild, Steve infuses his sculptures with a captivating essence, capturing the power, beauty, and resilience of creatures like horses, cheetahs, tigers, and gorillas. Through an intricate process of bronze casting, Steve breathes life into his creations, emphasizing the soulful depth found in their eyes.

On getting up close and personal, Steve says: “Eyes are so important to me because, ‘eyes are the window to the soul.’ When you see animals in the wild, you judge everything from their eyes. There is a real clarity in them. You can see if they are happy, angry, agitated and many other emotions.”

Public Sculptures

Atop a four-metre-high monument sits Steve Winterburn’s latest public sculpture - a magnificent bronze tiger head - at the Leicester Tigers rugby union ground.

A spectacular sculpture that took three years to complete, Steve Winterburn's commission for Rugby League Cares was unveiled at Wembley Stadium in August 2015 for the 120th anniversary of the day that the sport was created. It features five stars of the sport who come together to celebrate each generation of rugby.

Commemorating the historic town's important mining history, Steve Winterburn's sculpture installation at Wigan Town Hall conveys a range of mining figures donning traditional clothing and footwear.

Monarch | 2023

In ‘Monarch’, the latest piece from master sculptor Steve Winterburn, the power and majesty of the stag is brought to life in a limited edition series. Steve is celebrated for his influence by the natural world, but with his new work, he brings an iconic animal from Great Britain into life. 'Monarch' is the first from the UK which he has created with Castle Fine Art, and also the first where the animal is interacting with the viewer - in this case, bellowing - and displaying its natural behaviour.

As ever, Steve has studied his subject in great detail before embarking on creating the sculpture. He researched the dominant stance of the Red Deer, and also its role in Celtic mythology. Sir Edwin Landseer's iconic 1851 painting of a stag, 'The Monarch of the Glen' can be seen in the Scottish National Gallery in Edinburgh, and by calling his new piece 'Monarch', Steve is taking the role that the majestic deer holds in Scots culture into the 21st century.

Wisdom of the Forest | 2022

Master sculptor Steve Winterburn’s newest limited edition sculpture is a moving portrait of an orangutan, ‘Wisdom of the Forest’, a creature he respects greatly, which is reflected in this incredible piece. Steve is well-renowned for capturing the power, beauty, strength and resilience of the animals he sculpts, and his latest bronze is no exception. In a first for his collections with Castle Fine Art the sculpture is finished with a beautiful new burnt-orange patina. This expertly-applied texture is synonymous with Steve’s wildlife sculptures, with the looseness of the style and finish allowing him to express the soul of the animal.
