NATURE
“One of the most accomplished contemporary jade sculptors in the world”
Highly renowned for his nature inspired sculpture Sopel’s approach for capturing the dramatic and whimsical aspect of nature/wildlife subjects is exceptional. Incorporating representational with abstract his pieces move with power, panache and grace. His gifted ability to modify his subject matter from an animal-like perspective to human traits; offers the viewer a rare and profound connection to all of our natural environment. Collaborating with both abstract and representational elements, each piece is sculpted by hand and meticulously staged to intrigue and delight the viewer.
“Always prevalent in Nature is the theatre of life. I feel awe-struck when ever I have the privilege to witness this drama”.
