Rodney Munday
began sculpting professionally in the early 1990s.
He exhibited annually at the Chelsea Flower Show and other Royal Horticultural Society Shows from
1995 - 2004. He has exhibited at Journées des Plantes at Courson in France, and at Olympia.
In 2004 his work was selected for the Chichester Festivities. In
2005 it was selected again; he
was shortlisted to produce a copper wall and doors for the Grand Opera House
in Belfast; and he won the gold medal for sculpture at the 11th Salon D’art du Colombier at St. Arnoult- en-Yvelines, near Paris.
In 2006, he complemented that medal with one for the
sculpture most popular with children. He has
held solo exhibitions at Gallery 27 in Cork Street, London, and the Oxmarket Gallery in Chichester,
and in 2007 had twenty of his works exhibited at a month long exhibition at
Galerie
Art Present in the Paris Beaubourg. His essay,
The Myth of the Artist (qv) was published in The Salisbury Review in 2005.
Major commissions include
Europa & the Bull (2005) for the multinational company Wyeth, and St.
Edmund of Abingdon for St. Edmund Hall, Oxford (2007). In 2009 Rodney
was shortlisted to produce a statue of St. George & the Dragon for
Perth Cathedral in Australia.
