If you’ve ever come across a powerful lion bust, a striking dragon, or a hauntingly detailed angel crafted in stone-like resin, chances are you’ve already seen the unmistakable style of Edge Sculpture. With their bold lines, rugged textures, and emotional presence, these sculptures stand out — and for many, they become the centrepiece of any room.
But what exactly is Edge Sculpture? Where did it come from, and why has it captured the imagination of collectors across the world?
Welcome to your beginner’s guide to this dynamic art form.
At the heart of Edge Sculpture is Matt Buckley, a sculptor with a background in theatre set design and traditional statuary. He began his journey in the ceramics industry under the mentorship of his uncle, Robert Harrop, before developing his own signature style.
His work is influenced by:
Nature (animals, wildlife, elemental themes)
Mythology (dragons, angels, and fantasy beasts)
Symbolism (strength, protection, spirituality)
Today, Matt sculpts every original piece by hand in his UK workshop, where it is then cast in resin, hand-painted, and finished with meticulous detail.
Edge Sculpture is a distinctive range of contemporary sculptures designed and created by British artist Matt Buckley. Each piece blends elements of fine art, industrial design, and traditional sculpture — resulting in bold, three-dimensional works that are both highly decorative and emotionally resonant.
Unlike classical sculptures that aim for realism or smooth perfection, Edge Sculptures embrace:
Rough textures
Exaggerated forms
Vivid expression
They are not delicate ornaments — they are powerful visual statements.

Each Edge Sculpture is made from stone-resin composite — a clever mix that combines the weight and feel of stone with the versatility and strength of modern resin. This allows for:
Deep, chiselled textures
Consistent finishes across production
Durable, long-lasting display pieces
The stone-like appearance gives Edge Sculptures their signature rugged look — like something ancient, yet unmistakably modern.
