David Reekie

David Reekie studied Glass and Ceramics at Stourbridge College of Art, graduating in 1970. He taught glass at North Staffs Polytechnic from 1976 to 1986, before setting up his own studio in Norfolk in 1986.

For over 50 years he has exhibited his figurative sculptures worldwide, with many pieces now in major museum collections in the USA and Europe, including the V&A in London, Norwich Castle Museum and Art Gallery, and the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge.

Observing society and the world around us, he creates characters and scenarios that comment on the human condition. These are often ironic and have a darkly comic aspect. He is a modern-day satirist.

David has been invited to teach throughout the world, sharing his artistic knowledge and his own lost wax casting techniques, which he has perfected over time.

He received an Honorary Degree of Doctor of Arts from the University of Wolverhampton in 2011.

David lives and works in Dickleburgh, Norfolk.
