Sculptural Works
ROBERTSONKUR sculptural works celebrate the delicate grace of the peony, transforming interiors into immersive, floral‑inspired environments. We continue to explore the use of glass, timber, and ceramics in sculptural forms.
From glass installations to suspended petals drifting through air, each piece is crafted with the same meticulous care and vision that defines the studio’s canvases.
Collectors often engage these works as part of the full ROBERTSONKUR private commission collection, where painting, sculpture, lighting, and sensory elements converge to create a singular, bespoke artistic work. Every sculptural work is available by private consultation, conceived specifically for the space and the collector it is destined to inhabit.
sketch to installation
No Sculptural Commission is the same, each begins with a conversation and a single mark on paper. From there, initial studies explore form, scale, and how the work will inhabit the space. What begins as a sketch becomes a fully realised installation, built by hand, considered at every stage, and made to belong permanently in its environment.
STEP INSIDE THE ENVIRONMENT
Our largest commission to date explores the peony not through a single work, but through original painting and sculpture together, an ever-unfolding body of work that forms the foundation of what a fully realised ROBERTSONKUR environment can be.
A Glimpse from South Africa
As the studio has evolved and grown internationally our first major work has been developing in South Africa, extending the studio’s narrative of immersive, private commissions and sculptural environments. While details will be revealed later this year, these pieces are being developed for collectors who value singular artistry, refinement, and environments that transform space.
This is an invitation to follow the evolution of the studio’s most ambitious works, accessible only to those engaged in the private collector journey.
GLASS
Glass is used within the sculpture as a primary structural and spatial material.
Each element is formed from a larger vessel and then cut to produce individual components, allowing subtle variation across the work. Developed in collaboration with a local glassblower in South Africa, the material is used to establish balance, repetition, and interaction with light within the installation.
Installation
The installation is held in suspension, with each element positioned to maintain balance across the composition.
Glass surfaces respond to changing light conditions, with natural light moving across the work throughout the day and altering its presence within the space.
LIGHTING
Under controlled lighting conditions, the work shifts in presence, with directed light extending reflections across surrounding surfaces. The installation engages both its immediate form and the space beyond it.
