Ralph Koltai CBE RDI is Britain's senior and most celebrated Theatre Designer.Remarkably he has embarked on a new and impressive challenge, returning to his roots as a 3-dimensional artist, creating a series of bas-relief sculpture / collages.
They are mostly made from found objects on farms near his studio in France. He selects panels or pieces, predominantly metal, and dissects them in a compositional form. A sheet of rusty metal became a wall in Simon Boccanegra, a polished dish and sphere became the entrance to Caliban's Cave in The Tempest, and most recently the root of a tree became the setting for Howard Brenton's play The Romans in Britain.
Assisted Ralph on Suddenly last summer at the Nottingham playhouse
