Sapien (aka Steve Anwar) MRSS

Sapien is the alias and studio of artist/sculptor Steve Anwar who creates abstract sculptures for high-profile clients like: Yorkshire Sculpture Park, Sky Arts, Wentworth Pewter & Taylor Wimpey. Based in Sheffield, England the studio produces sculptures for private collectors & larger site-specific artworks for public realm projects, fusing elemental materials with traditional fabrication techniques. Anwar born and raised in the steel city likes to draw from his dual-heritage bringing together eastern philosophies with the industrial heritage of the North of England. He is intent in revealing hidden dimensions of mind and material, through an exploration of the junctions between opposing elements, such as: chaos and order, science and spirituality, poetry and machinery. His work exposes boundary lines to convey a raw sense of what it means to be a living breathing human being.

The Sapien practice exists to enrich the temporary human experience, to bridge the gap between meticulous handcrafting and spiritual wisdom, to lift the veil between the seen and the unseen. Consistently delivering meaningful, high quality sculptures at all scales - crafted with love, sweat and northern grit.
