Wolfgang Buttress is an award winning artist working with public space. He creates simple, elegant and contextual public artworks which seek to define and celebrate a sense of place.
Over the last 15 years he has produced artworks for the public realm in the UK, USA, Europe and Japan. Inspired by the work of artists and architects such as Ando, Brancusi, Saarineen, Tapies and Twombly,
his work alludes to histories, traces and memories which are both personal and contextual.
He co-founded Wolfgang and Heron, an art and landscape architecture practice in 2,000.
He now works individually as well as collaboratively with a wide range of professionals, most recently on schemes with architects and landscape architects such as Tadao Ando, BDP, and Conran and Partners.
His work has recently been exhibited at the prestigious Wall Gallery, Tokyo; ABC Gallery, Fukuoka and the Chicago Sculpture Biennales in 2006 and 2008.
