Mark Lawson Bell (b.1969, Cornwall, UK) is a sculptor, poet, and storyteller whose practice
elevates the forgotten into objects of reverence. The celebrated British artist known for
transforming lost objects into evocative dreamscapes, unveiling a new chapter in poetic
storytelling through sculpture.
Bell’s work is an ode to lost things - a meditation on memory, desire, and the act of
reclamation. His sculptural language merges intellectual inquiry with emotional depth,
navigating the liminal space between presence and absence, the ephemeral and the eternal. Through poetic inscriptions, layered narratives, and meticulous material interventions, he reimagines remnants of the past, transforming them into charged objects imbued with longing and quiet reverence.
His practice resists erasure, refusing to let time dissolve what was once cherished. Each work acts as a vessel for forgotten narratives, bridging personal memory with collective experience. In Bell’s hands, discarded materials are not merely restored but transfigured, elevated into symbolic totems of human fragility and resilience. His sculptures do not simply occupy space; they summon it, inviting viewers into a dialogue between loss and redemption, dream and reality.
Mark Lawson Bell’s work is a poetic inquiry into the nature of remembrance. Through his
intricate sculptural compositions, he invites us to step into a world of echoes and absences,
to reclaim what has been left behind, and to find meaning in the traces of time.
