Zachary Eastwood Bloom's exciting ability to explore the intersection between the classical and the cutting edge is captured here in his fabulous bronze Timaeus/Plato.

It was the Athenian philosopher Plato who first suggested the concept of the Platonic solid in his dialogue 'Timaeus' (360 BC) in which he associated each of the four classical elements (earth, air, water, and fire) with a regular solid. Earth was associated with the cube, air with the octahedron, water with the icosahedron, and fire with the tetrahedron. The fifth solid the dodecahedron Plato seemed to attribute to the heavens. Using cutting edge digital drawing and printing techniques combined with the age old technique of bronze casting and hand finishing Eastwood-Bloom here bring the classical bust of this famous philosopher into the 21st century by filling Plato with his own solids.

Zachary Eastwood-Bloom graduated from the Royal College of Art in 2010, where he studied Ceramics and Glass. In 2016 he was awarded Pangolin London's sculpture residency and had his first major solo London show, 'Divine Principles' in 2017. 2019 saw Zachary complete his residency as the first digital artist in residence at the Royal Scottish Ballet for their digital season. Zachary Eastwood-Bloom co-founded Studio Manifold and lives and works in Glasgow.
