A curated selection of sculptures spanning figurative, abstract, and monumental works. Each piece is a unique exploration of form, material, and meaning.

Ascending Form — stone sculpture by Damian Arkeveld

Ascending Form

An abstract vertical piece in Ancaster limestone that evokes upward movement and spiritual reaching. The surface transitions from rough-hewn base to a finely honed apex, embodying the tension between earthbound mass and weightless aspiration.

Contemplation — stone sculpture by Damian Arkeveld

Contemplation

A seated figure abstracted to essential planes, carved from a single block of Purbeck limestone. The pose suggests inward focus and stillness, distilling the human form to its most elemental geometry without losing its emotional resonance.

Dialogue — stone sculpture by Damian Arkeveld

Dialogue

Two facing figures separated by a narrow void, carved from a single block of limestone that was split and then carved independently. The work embodies the tension and intimacy of human connection across distance.

Equilibrium — stone sculpture by Damian Arkeveld

Equilibrium

Two interlocking forms balanced on a single point of contact, exploring tension and harmony. Cast in bronze using the lost-wax method, the piece captures a moment of precarious stillness where opposing forces achieve resolution.

Erosion Study III — stone sculpture by Damian Arkeveld

Erosion Study III

Part of a series exploring how natural erosion shapes stone over millennia. This piece takes a found boulder as its starting point, carving only the features of a face emerging from the raw surface — as if the portrait were always there, slowly revealed by wind and water.

Eternal Fragment — stone sculpture by Damian Arkeveld

Eternal Fragment

A fractured marble torso exploring classical form through a contemporary lens. The deliberate incompleteness of the piece invites viewers to consider what endures when the whole is lost — and whether the fragment might carry more emotional weight than the original ever could.

Genesis — stone sculpture by Damian Arkeveld

Genesis

A powerful spheroid form split open to reveal polished interior cavities, suggesting creation and emergence. The contrast between the rough outer shell and the luminous interior speaks to hidden potential and the moment of becoming.

Kilkenny LimestoneAbstract202260 x 55 x 55 cm
Horizon Line — stone sculpture by Damian Arkeveld

Horizon Line

A long horizontal form in sandstone that echoes the Australian landscape. The piece stretches nearly two metres in length yet rises only thirty centimetres, its proportions mirroring the vast, flat terrain from which the stone was quarried.

Red SandstoneAbstract202330 x 180 x 25 cm
Meridian — stone sculpture by Damian Arkeveld

Meridian

A monumental marble sculpture created during the Carrara residency. Two sweeping curved planes rise from a shared base, their surfaces polished to a mirror finish on the inner faces while retaining rough quarry texture on the exterior. The piece marks a meridian — a line of highest point, a moment of balance.

Monolith I — stone sculpture by Damian Arkeveld

Monolith I

A towering rectangular form with subtle undulations carved into its surface, referencing geological strata. The black granite absorbs and reflects light in equal measure, creating a presence that shifts between void and solid depending on the time of day.

Black GraniteMonumental2022250 x 80 x 60 cm
Nocturne — stone sculpture by Damian Arkeveld

Nocturne

A deep black granite disc with concentric carved rings that catch light at different angles throughout the day. The piece functions as a sundial of subtlety, its appearance transforming from a monolithic dark plane at noon to a shimmering pattern of reflected light at dawn and dusk.

Passage — stone sculpture by Damian Arkeveld

Passage

A pierced stone form creating a window of light through solid marble. The negative space at the centre of the work becomes its true subject — an aperture through which light, air, and the viewer's gaze may pass freely.

White Carrara MarbleAbstract202470 x 50 x 40 cm
Pillar of Light — stone sculpture by Damian Arkeveld

Pillar of Light

A tall, slender column of white marble with a vertical channel that captures and directs light. The piece transforms its surrounding space, casting a narrow blade of illumination that moves across the floor as the sun traverses the sky.

Statuario MarbleArchitectural2023200 x 30 x 30 cm
Vestige I — stone sculpture by Damian Arkeveld

Vestige I

A monumental limestone bust exploring the tension between figurative likeness and geometric abstraction. Angular planes intersect with organic contours, revealing the structure beneath the surface. The deliberate fragmentation suggests memory — incomplete, yet more powerful for what it withholds.

LimestoneFigurative202476 x 48 x 40 cm
Remnants — stone sculpture by Damian Arkeveld

Remnants

A collection of five carved stone fragments arranged as a floor installation, each bearing partial features. The work evokes archaeological discovery, suggesting a monumental figure that once existed whole but now persists only as disconnected evidence of its former presence.

Solitude — stone sculpture by Damian Arkeveld

Solitude

A single standing figure carved from Welsh slate, minimal and contemplative. The natural cleavage planes of the slate dictate the figure's slender proportions, producing a form that appears both ancient and entirely modern.

Welsh SlateFigurative202392 x 30 x 25 cm
Silent Witness — stone sculpture by Damian Arkeveld

Silent Witness

A contemplative portrait study in Portland stone. The smooth, serene expression contrasts with the rough-hewn base, creating a dialogue between the refined and the raw. This piece explores the quiet intensity of observation — the weight of being seen.

Portland StonePortrait202354 x 32 x 28 cm
The Guardian — stone sculpture by Damian Arkeveld

The Guardian

A monumental head carved in Portland stone, placed at the entrance of a London corporate headquarters. The scale and gravity of the piece transform a commercial threshold into a site of contemplation and civic presence.

The Veil — stone sculpture by Damian Arkeveld

The Veil

A thin, translucent-appearing carved alabaster form suggesting draped fabric frozen in stone. Light passes through the thinnest sections, revealing the mineral's crystalline structure and producing an ethereal luminosity that shifts throughout the day.

AlabasterFigurative202455 x 35 x 25 cm
The Witness — stone sculpture by Damian Arkeveld

The Witness

A large-scale head tilted upward, eyes closed, carved in Portuguese pink marble. The monumental scale and serene expression create a presence that is at once imposing and deeply contemplative, inviting the viewer into a shared moment of stillness.

Portuguese Pink MarbleFigurative2024140 x 70 x 65 cm
Torso Study II — stone sculpture by Damian Arkeveld

Torso Study II

A male torso carved in warm Cotswold limestone, referencing classical proportion while embracing modern abstraction. The surface preserves the memory of the chisel, lending the form a directness that separates it from the polished idealism of its classical antecedents.

Cotswold LimestoneFigurative202375 x 40 x 30 cm
Threshold — stone sculpture by Damian Arkeveld

Threshold

An abstract stone sculpture exploring angular planes and the interplay of light and shadow. Inspired by the moment of transition — the liminal space between states of being. Two intersecting geometric volumes create a dynamic tension that shifts with the viewer's position.
