Catalogue Note

After a successful career in business, Michael Spelling decided to pursue his ambition to become a sculptor. He studied at Chelsea college of Fine Art and for the last six years has been working from his studio close to Tate Modern at The Sculpture Academy in Southwark, London.

This bronze group "Family Tree" is emblematic of the strength and support received from generations, both past and present. The top figure is youthful and triumphant, looking down with pride through his lineage.
