Richard Deacon "CBE" was born in Bangor (August 15, 1949) and preferred to be known as a fabricator rather than a sculptor. His work is abstract and often constructed from everyday materials such as laminated plywood, galvanised steel, aluminium, vinyl and copper. Some of his larger pieces were created for specific events or sculpture gardens.
Deacon's latest work will be a permanent installation, a sculpture, suspended and on a scale never accomplished before. This will take place in Singapore.

"There is for me another sense to the title. Fluctation of light on the surface changes according to the time of day and as a spectator moves past. The experience is grounded in a moment in time that is fleeting but a part of an infinite sequence." ~ Richard Deacon, speaking about his work, "Infinity".
Richard Deacon is the final artist of this journey but not the only sculptor to have been influenced by past sculptors and to be a great influence on sculptors to come.
