THE work of an artist who made his name sculpting a public monument to the Duke of Westminster has gone on show at a Henley gallery.
Jonathan Wylder, who lives in the town and has a studio in Nettlebed, will also be in residence at Henley Fine Art in Market Place two days a week.
The 63-year-old, who is best known for his bronze sculptures but is also a noted painter, says he hopes his involvement could potentially help inspire younger visitors to the gallery.
He says: “I remember when I walked into a stone carver’s studio for the first time and could not believe the smell of the dust, the dust in his hair, piles of bricks and carving away — it just blew my mind.
