Who Is Edge? Meet the Artist Behind the Sculptures – Matt Buckley

Matt Buckley, the creative force behind Edge Sculpture, has established a unique voice in the contemporary art world. Working primarily from his UK studio, Buckley has harnessed decades of sculpting experience to build a brand that blends classical sculptural traditions with a raw, expressive modernity.

Previously involved in the world of theatrical and fantasy sculpture, Matt’s artistic evolution gave rise to Edge – a collection of bold, contemporary sculptures of animals, mythological figures, and iconic characters, brought to life through movement, emotion, and form.

Buckley’s pieces aren’t just ornaments – they’re statements. And now, Edge sculptures are exclusively available at the Artmarket Gallery, where his full collection is proudly displayed.

The Edge Sculpture Style – Where Expression Meets Technique

What makes Edge sculptures so instantly recognisable is their distinctive, chiselled aesthetic. Every sculpture begins life as a raw and expressive clay model. Matt Buckley sculpts directly by hand in wet clay, shaping each curve, line, and expression to perfection.

These original sculptures are then transformed into limited edition pieces using a complex multi-step production process, designed to preserve every detail of the original design. This approach results in artwork that is rich in texture, character, and contemporary style.

  • Aesthetic Highlights of Edge Sculptures:
  • Stylised yet true-to-life anatomy
  • Bold forms and angular cuts that emphasise motion and emotion
  • Visually engaging textures that catch and reflect natural light
  • A matte finish that blends seamlessly with modern interiors

Edge sculptures are not only artistic – they’re architectural. Whether it's the piercing gaze of a wolf, the solemn majesty of an elephant, or the mystical aura of a dragon, each piece tells a story through form.

From Clay to Collector – How Edge Sculptures Are Made

The journey from sculptor's hands to collector's home is a fascinating one. Each Edge sculpture undergoes a meticulous creation process, designed to ensure authenticity, consistency, and quality.

The Edge Sculpture Process:

Sculpting in Clay:

Matt begins by hand-sculpting the original design using wet clay. This phase is where the energy and personality of each piece is born.

Silicon Block Mould Creation:

Once completed, the clay sculpture is encased in a high-precision silicon block mould, capturing even the finest textural details.

Mould Master & Casting:

A mould master is then used to cast limited edition sculptures. Each cast is made from a durable blend of dolomite stone powder, a superior binding resin, and a specialised hardener, ensuring longevity and stability.

Hand Finishing by Master Craftsmen:

Each sculpture is hand-sanded, refined, and assembled with meticulous attention to detail.

Expert Hand-Painting:

Finally, a team of in-house artisans paint the sculptures using high-grade water-based exterior paints, before applying a matt lacquer finish to preserve and protect the surface.

This artisan-led process means that every sculpture in the Edge collection is slightly unique – a true limited edition masterpiece.

Animal Sculptures with Soul – The Signature Edge Collection

Animals are central to the Edge aesthetic – and with good reason. Matt Buckley captures the emotive power and symbolic richness of wildlife like few other artists can. His sculptures are not literal representations but bold interpretations that channel emotion, power, and movement.

Popular Animal Sculptures by Edge:

  • Lions and Tigers – Symbolising strength, dominance, and nobility
  • Wolves – Representing loyalty, freedom, and survival
  • Elephants – Icons of wisdom, family, and resilience
  • Hares and Stags – Evoking the British countryside and folkloric mythology
  • Gorillas and Orangutang – Intelligent, expressive, and utterly captivating
  • Dragons and Fantasy Creatures – Merging myth, mystery, and visual drama

Each piece is available in a range of colour ways and finishes, allowing collectors to choose the one that speaks most to them and their space.

Sculptural Art That Fits the Modern Home

The contemporary styling of Edge makes these sculptures perfectly suited to modern interior design. Whether displayed as a standalone focal point or integrated into a curated art collection, Edge sculptures add bold texture and personality to any room.

Where Edge Sculptures Work Best:

  • Modern living rooms with neutral tones and open shelving
  • Hallways and stairwells with statement lighting
  • Commercial interiors – reception spaces, showrooms, and offices
  • Eclectic homes that blend vintage and contemporary styles

Sizes vary from compact statement pieces to larger, commanding centrepieces, meaning there’s an Edge sculpture to suit every scale and space.

Limited Editions with Timeless Appeal

Unlike mass-produced décor items, Edge sculptures are created in limited numbers, adding value and exclusivity to each piece. As the Edge name grows internationally, these editions become more desirable and collectible.

Every limited edition sculpture is:

  • Part of a strictly limited run
  • Numbered and authenticated
  • Crafted and painted by hand
  • Unique in its own right

Collectors value the combination of craftsmanship and rarity, and many Edge pieces appreciate in value over time. Whether you're buying for aesthetic pleasure or as an investment in art, Matt Buckley’s Edge series offers timeless appeal.
