'FIX THE SKY'
New bronze sculpture by SNIK.

Announced today, SNIK’s 'Fix the Sky' has become the duo’s second work to be immortalised in bronze for a series of nine statues.

Following the success of SNIK's first bronze, 'What Your Soul Sings' that debuted at their 2019 solo show, they returned to collaborate with Stamford based master sculptor Mark Bibby to create their latest piece. Produced at UK foundry, Sculpture Castings, the piece is based on the 2017 popular work 'Fix The Sky'.

The ascendent beauty of the original art, is excellantly captured by Mark Bibby in this near-angelic statue. The original wax sculpture is cast using a traditional ‘lost wax casting’ technique. Images below show the stages of this technique, including molten bronze that is poured into mounds, once solid each piece is assembled to create the final form.

From the idea conception to the final polish, each stage of the process is completely hand crafted, a true labour of love. The casting process has been beautifully documented and made into a short film by Louis Thornton. Click the button below to view the full video.
