  • Summary

  • In this episode of Art In Mayfair 2023, host Maeve Doyle speaks to self-taught artist and sculptor, and renowned modern furniture maker, Johnny Hawkes. Johnny’s piece, Sphelix is part of the Mayfair Sculpture Trail and is outside Fenwick’s. At the start of 2023, Hawkes began developing his sculpture “SPHELIX” on a monumental scale which he says is the perfect shape, organic in cure and industrial in form: Sphelix has been an obsession of his for half of his lifetime. The Sphelix is a new shape, the joining of a sphere and a helix, a new global shape and a symbol for anti-racism, the joining of communities. We cover a lot in this episode including Johnny’s love of wood, his brief stint at art school and other artists whose work he admires. He also shares his inspirations, his process of work, how he makes sense of his ideas and puts them into a physicality. Head to the website for more on Art In Mayfair, and the Mayfair Sculpture Trail.
