'Envelope of Pulsation' is a beautiful, tripartite stone sculpture by highly respected Royal Academician Peter Randall-Page. Carved by hand in granite which has been locally sourced from Dartmoor near where the artists lives 'Envelope of Pulsation' continues Randall-Page's life-long interest in exploring how uniform, logical pattern responds when introduced to naturally formed objects eroded over thousands of years. The title of the work alludes to an inner energy even within a seemingly inert material.
Randall-Page is best known for his approach to carving stone and in particular his public sculpture. In London alone there are twelve dotted around the city including The One and The Many in Fitzroy Place, Touchstone for TFL in Oval and Walking the Dog in Dulwich. Randall-Page’s most impressive project remains his vast sculpture 'Seed' of over 70 tonnes for the Eden Project in Cornwall, a maquette of which is included in the exhibition.
Peter Randall-Page was born in Essex and studied sculpture at Bath Academy of Art from 1973-77. After college he moved to London and spent a year working with the sculptor Barry Flanagan whose poeticism during a period of strict minimalism greatly appealed and he relished the organic process of carving over the current trend of rapid construction in disparate materials.
Over the past thirty years Randall-Page has gained an international reputation through his sculpture, ceramics, drawings and prints. He has undertaken many large scale commissions and has exhibited widely. His work is held in numerous public and private collections throughout the world including Japan, South Korea, Australia, USA, Ireland, Germany and the Netherlands. Closer to home a selection of his public sculpture can be found in London, Edinburgh, Manchester, Bristol, Cardiff and Newbury and in numerous permanent collections such as the Tate Collection and the British Museum.
