Artist: Anita MANDL

British Contemporary Artist: Anita Mandl

Anita Mandl was born in Prague. She came to England in 1939.

On leaving school Anita took a secretarial course and later trained as a zoologist at Birbeck College, University of London, gaining a first class honours degree in 1947. Mandl then joined the Medical School at the University of Birmingham and was awarded a Ph.D. in 1951 and a D.Sc in 1960. During this period she attended evening classes in sculpture at the Birmingham College of Art.

In 1965 Mandl set up an Art sculpture studio in her garden where she has been carving ever since. Anita's Art is now at the forefront of British sculpture and she remains very much a carver. Her Art rarely starts with a preconceived notion of what it is to be, but evolves from the size and shape of stone selected.

Most of Anita Mandl's sculptures are simplified animal forms with highly polished surfaces. Detail is eliminated in order to enhance the natural beauty of the materials. Unusually for a stone carver, many of Anita's pieces are also cast into bronze in limited editions. Bronze casting is a lengthy process. Smooth surfaces require special attention in order to replicate the polish of the original. The application of the patina enhances the form and adds depth and warmth to the raw metal.

Since 1978 Mandl has been a member of the Royal West of England Art Academy. She is also a Fellow of the Royal Society of British Sculptors.

In 1985 and 1993 Anita was commissioned by the Zoological Society of London to create seven bronzes to be awarded as the Stamford Raffles Prize.

In addition to Red Rag Modern British Art Gallery Anita Mandl contemporary sculptures are exhibited at many other leading modern British Art Galleries. Her work is also regularly featured at the Royal Academy.
