Completely untutored and self taught, this extrovert character with
a history of achieving the impossible and
sending ripples of delight to his many private
and business clients, has over the last
few years "made waves" in the
world of conventional art. Hidden away in
a tiny Cornish village, Leigh works avidly
to create an unusual collection of three
dimensional figures to match his wild imagination.
Working from a huge converted barn, and
using his own special method of the modern
technique of bonded bronze, he is able to
individually produce beautiful sculptures
that are genuinely hand made and quite unique.
"Touch them, feel them, stroke them
and breath their beauty" says Leigh
who is quick to admit his own love of sensuality
and the female form.
Certain sculptures within the Heppell Collection are cast as Special
Editions, but all his major works are Limited
Edition and truly collectable. Leigh produces
on average one new sculpture every month to
add to his range.
The collection includes a small number of
"special" sculptures for the more
discerning Erotophile, which although sexually
explicit in content, are nevertheless still
touched with artistic creativity that is the
unmistakable trade mark of this incredibly
talented artist. Most recently Leigh has perfected
a completely new technique, using real material
in the casting process, giving the finished
sculpture an even greater feeling of authenticity
and erotic feeling
