Michael Speller

Michael Speller is one of the UK’s most celebrated sculptors, and his masterly bronze figures grace public spaces across the globe. After a successful career in business, Michael made a life changing decision to pursue his ambition to become a sculptor. Michael studied at Chelsea College of Fine Art and since 2000 has been working from his studio in South East London. 

His distinctive, elongated figures, solitary or grouped, represent our environment, our families, our neighbours, and the society we live in. All Michael’s pieces are interlinked and interdependent; as he explores the balance between conflicting forces and emotions, he creates work that is visually striking and reflects his great passion and enthusiasm for life. 

His art lends itself to the large scale, and he has undertaken numerous private and public commissions from high profile collectors around the world including famous names from the arenas of sport, literature and business. Michael’s public commissions can be seen throughout London, at Millbank Tower overlooking the Thames adjacent to Tate Britain, at the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, and inside the historic Greenwich Market. He created a five metre centrepiece bronze for London’s Newham University Hospital which was unveiled by the Secretary of State for Health. In 2012 he was commissioned to replace an Antony Gormley in Mougins on the Côte d’Azur and further afield, his sculptures are on display in Philadelphia and in Cape Town’s Stellenberg Gardens
