Tony Stallard (born 26 August 1958) is an English artist, best known for his large scale public artworks in the United Kingdom and abroad,[1] which utilise bronze,[2]steel[3] and light sculptures for work in the public realm.[4]
Stallard has worked for twenty-five years in public artworks within the public realm[6] and his work has been exhibited widely from Canada to Ireland and the Czech Republic.[5] This work has included research and development within architectural and engineering practices, as well as processing artworks with multiple stake holders for practical engineered concepts towards public artworks.[6]
In 2009, Stallard was selected to by the Titanic Quarter and Arts And Business Northern Ireland to create a sculpture to promote the regeneration of the Titanic Quarter. A scale model of an Airfix kit, the piece was a reference to Belfast's industrial heritage and encourages a nostalgia for the area's shipbuilding history.[7]
