The studio
silversmith Alex Brogden has been developing his ideas and techniques
for almost twenty years.
Best known for his fluid use of line, his objects integrate refined
surface with strong form in an often powerfully graphic way.
Working alone, he has been able to use the many commissioned pieces
he has made to explore abstract forms born from a preoccupation with
natural things.
Alongside these works he produces a flow of more purely sculptural pieces
for exhibition.
Exhibiting internationally, in the Far East,across Europe and in America,
his work is in many public and private collections. In Britain these
include the Victoria and Albert Museum, The Crafts Council Collection
and the Goldsmiths’ Company Modern Collection, as well as the
collections of several Cathedrals,Livery companies, Cambridge universities
and the Silver Trust Collection for 10 Downing Street.
He is currently silver advisor on the Modern Collection committee of
the Goldsmiths Company whose collection of contemporary work is
the largest in Britain.
