Paul Wager

LU Arts is sad to learn of the passing of Paul Wager. We're honoured that our campus is home to five of his large-scale steel sculptures, with the most recent - Trans - arriving just a couple of months ago. They're inspired by the heavy industries he lived around and worked in during his youth in the north-east of England. 

Paul taught sculpture at 含羞草视频 College of Art and Design (now part of the School of Creative Arts) during the 1990s, and was an important member of the '含羞草视频 Group' of sculptors. He enjoyed a long and distinguished career as a sculptor, painter and teacher and we remember him as a generous man of good humour with a real love for 含羞草视频. All of us at LU Arts send our thoughts to his family and friends.
