Robert Bradford - Recycling

Robert Bradford was born in London and he trained at Beckenham school of art, Ravensbourne college of art (painting) B.A and Royal college of art (film) M.A 

Since then Robert has lived in many different places such as South East London, Cornwall and now in Herne Bay. 

Whilst living in Cornwall for 7 years, Robert is very well known for his large 'Bombus Bee' sculpture at the Eden Project. 

He Has exhibited widely in Europe, America and the Emirates. 

One day Robert was looking through his old childrens toys and saw a greater purpose for them. ' I figured that if i could find a way of putting them together to constitute a larger form they would have great potential as larger scale sculptures.'  
He then goes on to say that 'Some people of course just say they are rubbish which of course is perfectly true! There is also often talk about consumerism waste and recycling, which whilst is not my central concern is also in my view positive when it occurs'
