He uses a mis of marble resin to create stunning fragments that painstakingly come together as the detailed forms of birds, cats and any other number of animals. Utterly breathtaking, Matt Buckley's work is at once ancient-looking and modern.
To make these stunning sculptures, Matt Buckley relied on the assistance of a creative team, who helped mold the shape, cast it in a mix of marble resin, paint it and then execute a few finishing techniques. What is interesting to note about Matt Buckley's sculptures is who full of life they are even if they are far from lifelike.
