Artist Stephen Broadbent talks about his designs for Larkholme Grasslands
Stephen Broadbent is a British sculptor, specialising in public art. He was born in Wroughton, Wiltshire in 1961 and educated at Liverpool Blue Coat School. In Liverpool he studied sculpture for four years under Arthur Dooley.
His largest work, Encounter, stands at junction 11 of the M62 Motorway at Birchwood, and incorporates telecommunications aerials within the metalwork.
He has carried out a remodelling of a street "Bridge Street" in Warrington town centre with a 'River of Life' to give hope for the future from a destructive bomb blast which killed two young boys. This is an evovative and thoughtful place to walk in as a person goes about there normal business in the town centre and seeing the children play with the sculpture features.
