"Men Hir"
Steatite Sculpture
26" x 18" x 9"

Paul Braun draws inspiration for his sculptures from ancient constructions and mystical carvings such as Stonehenge, New Grange, and Knowth.

Experiencing these structures in person guided him to develop a body of work combining age-old concepts with contemporary forms. 

"I feel that sculpture is about creating form in which the artist exhibits control, balance and mystery. I enjoy working in the abstract because it allows me the freedom to explore the material; it offers the opportunity to highlight the natural beauty of the stone in unique ways.” 

These sculptures express an intrinsic passage, one that is simultaneously ancient and alive.
