Welcome to my new series shining a light on the artists at RBC. The first in the series focuses on the eminent Peter Randall-Page RA.
Peter studied sculpture at Bath Academy of Art from 1973-1977 and has since gained an international reputation through his sculpture, drawings and prints. He has undertaken numerous large-scale commissions and exhibited widely. His work is held in public and private collections throughout the world. A selection of his public sculptures can be found in many urban and rural locations in the UK, and his work is in the permanent collections of the Tate Gallery and the British Museum amongst others.
Lords and Ladies (charcoal drawing, unique, black frame, 93 x 72 cms framed size, £4,500)
Peter’s practice has always been informed and inspired by the study of natural phenomena and its subjective impact on our emotions. In recent years his work has become increasingly concerned with the underlying principles determining growth and the forms it produces. In his words “geometry is the theme on which nature plays her infinite variations, and can be seen as a kind of pattern book on which the most complex and sophisticated structures are based.”
Entomology I-XI (aquatint prints, 19/30 & 20/30, 32 x 24 cms, unframed, £540)

Peter was awarded an Honorary Doctorate of Arts from the University of Plymouth in 1999, an Honorary Doctorate of Letters from York St John University in 2009, an Honorary Doctorate of Letters from Exeter University in 2010, and an Honorary Doctorate of Letters from Bath Spa University in 2013. In June 2015 Peter was elected as a Royal Academician in the category of sculpture.
Lolui Rocks VI (linocut print, 20 x 23 cms, unframed, £455)
In 2007 Peter was invited by the Ruwenzori Sculpture Foundation, Pangolin Editions and the Parabola Land charity to participate in the ‘Rock Music, Rock Art’ project on Lolui Island, Uganda. This culminated in his solo show of the same name at Pangolin London. The Yorkshire Sculpture Park held a major one-person exhibition of his work from June 2009 to April 2010.
