About the Sculptor

​

Roger Coolbear, founder of Rusticmania, is a sculptor specialising in site-specific outdoor work that responds to material, landscape, and context. With over two decades of experience working with timber and sculptural form, his practice balances craft, structural awareness, and sensitivity to place.

 

Professional Approach

​

Rather than creating work in isolation, Roger develops sculptures that respond directly to site conditions, existing landscape features, and the natural environment. This approach ensures each piece integrates with its setting and remains meaningful in long-term outdoor contexts.

​

Range of Work

​

Roger’s portfolio encompasses large-scale commissioned sculptures and site-integrated pieces tailored to landscape and context. While skilled across multiple techniques and media, his focus remains on permanent outdoor sculpture that complements natural and designed settings.

Philosophy
