Biography

Stallard studied at Camberwell College of Arts, where he was influenced by Tony Carter and tutored by John Hilliard. Having started as a painter, Stallard then moved on to 3D work where he studied at Wimbledon College of Art and developed his skills of site specific sculpture. Stallard subsequently went on to Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art and Design in Dundee, which at the time was one of the few public art courses teaching the professional use of public art in the public realm.

Career in public art

Stallard has worked for twenty-five years in public artworks within the public realm and his work has been exhibited widely from Canada to Ireland and the Czech Republic. This work has included research and development within architectural and engineering practices, as well as processing artworks with multiple stake holders for practical engineered concepts towards public artworks.

  • Double Helix (1999), a commission for Paddington Arts Centre.
  • The Frankenstein Project (2001), a piece which draws on Blackpool’s history of freak shows, which were active until World War II.
  • Seam (2002), a site specific light sculptural installation for Mayrau Mines, Czech Republic.
  • Ghost Train (2009), a project which aimed to regenerate a busy, polluted area into a gateway feature and progress Watford's ambitions to be a 'greener' more sustainable town
